The genetic architecture of trait covariation in Populus euphratica, a desert tree.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The cooperative strategy of phenotypic traits during the growth of plants reflects how plants allocate photosynthesis products, which is the most favorable decision for them to optimize growth, survival, and reproduction response to changing environment. Up to now, we still know little about why plants make such decision from the perspective of biological genetic mechanisms.

Methods

In this study, we construct an analytical mapping framework to explore the genetic mechanism regulating the interaction of two complex traits. The framework describes the dynamic growth of two traits and their interaction as Differential Interaction Regulatory Equations (DIRE), then DIRE is embedded into QTL mapping model to identify the key quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that regula
