چکیده

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for variation in sternopleural bristle number in crosses between the laboratory lines of Drosophila melanogaster OregonR and CantonS were mapped using information from allele frequency changes of two families of retrotransposon markers in divergently selected populations. QTL effects and positions were inferred by likelihood, using transition matrix iteration and Monte Carlo interval mapping. Individuals from the selected population were genotyped for markers spaced at an average distance 4.4 cM. Four QTLs of moderate effect ranging from 0.6 to 1.32 bristles accounted for most of the selection response. A permutation test of the correspondence between the mapped QTLs and the positions of bristle number candidate genes suggested that alleles at these candidate genes were no more strongly associated with selected changes in marker allele frequency than were randomly chosen positions in the genome.

Genotype-environment interaction at quantitative trait loci affecting sensory bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster.

The magnitude of segregating variation for bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster exceeds that predicted from models of mutation-selection balance. To evaluate the hypothesis that genotype-environment interaction (GEI) maintains variation for bristle number in nature, we quantified the extent of GEI for abdominal and sternopleural bristles among 98 recombinant inbred lines, derived from two ...

Polygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: genetic interactions between selection lines and candidate quantitative trait loci.

We have investigated genetic interactions between spontaneous mutations affecting abdominal and sternopleural bristle number that have accumulated in 12 long-term selection lines derived from an inbred strain, and mutations at 14 candidate bristle number quantitative trait loci. The quantitative test for complementation was to cross the selection lines to an inbred wild-type strain (the control...

The genetic architecture of Drosophila sensory bristle number.

We have mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) for Drosophila mechanosensory bristle number in six recombinant isogenic line (RIL) mapping populations, each of which was derived from an isogenic chromosome extracted from a line selected for high or low, sternopleural or abdominal bristle number and an isogenic wild-type chromosome. All RILs were evaluated as male and female F(1) progeny of crosse...

Polygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: Mapping spontaneous mutations affecting sensory bristle number.

Our ability to predict long-term responses to artificial and natural selection, and understand the mechanisms by which naturally occurring variation for quantitative traits is maintained, depends on detailed knowledge of the properties of spontaneous polygenic mutations, including the quantitative trait loci (QTL) at which mutations occur, mutation rates, and mutational effects. These parameter...

Polygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: genetic analysis of selection lines.

We have conducted genetic analyses of 12 long-term selection lines of Drosophila melanogaster derived from a highly inbred base population, containing new mutations affecting abdominal and sternopleural bristle number. Biometric analysis of the number of effective factors differentiating the selected lines from the base inbred indicated that with the exception of the three lines selected for in...
