Epistatic contributions to quantitative traits in Tribolium castaneum

Epistatic contributions to quantitative traits in Tribolium castaneum 122 51 51 6 6 R. E. Goodwill R. D. Walker Department of Animal Sciences University of Kentucky Lexington USA University of Minnesota Technical College Waseca Minnesota USA Summary Triple-testcross experiments were used to analyze epistatic contributions to % hatchability of eggs, age of pupation, number of eggs laid in 24-hour period, and survival from hatching to day 35. Seven diverse inbred lines and the F 1 produced by crossing the two tester lines were examined for the presence of epistasis. There was evidence of epistasis for each of the 4 traits in at least one of the 8 lines tested. Epistasis was a major source of variation in survival in all of the lines tested. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics Springer Journals
