Trends were different for other traits; for example, for trait-environment combination GLS-3, BIRR, BIR1, and BIR2 had mean predictive correlations of 0.589, 0.586, and 0.584, respectively.
Localized SD is commonly observed in A. thaliana RIL populations and typically attributed to unintentional selection during RIL development, for example, for traits affecting germination or flowering [ 32, 33].
For example, for a trait with two QTL, the model formula was y ∼ Q1 + Q2 + Q1 Q2, where Q1 and Q2 represent the QTL objects corresponding to the markers at the maximum LOD scores of the significant QTL peaks.
For example, for two traits, adaptive evolution is thought to be most rapid along the direction of maximum genetic variance, which typically coincides with the direction of the phenotypic correlation between the traits.
For example, for the traits LnE-S at 4 years of age and Q, a QTL was detected on chromosome 8 between 72.3 and 74.1 Mb that included two linked SNPs: BIEC2-106245 and BIEC2-106276 (r = 0.10).
While our motivation has been to reduce the computation in dealing with binary traits, it is clear that the issues and methods that we investigated here can be applied more generally to other questions, for example for quantitative-trait linkage analysis (e.g. Amos 1994; Blangero et al. 2001), where both segregation and linkage is required.
For example, in trait theory (an approach toward the study of personality formation), personality disorders are viewed as rigid exaggerations of particular traits.
For example, if trait y1 affects y2, and y2 has no effect on y1, an intervention on y1 will cause changes on y2, but the reverse would not hold true.
Probably the best example for an ecological trait not directly related to MC production is green versus red pigmentation.
For example, in seed trait QTLs, gene Glyma01g17340.1 is deleted in G. soja and thus unique to G. max as shown in Figure 2.
For example, trait anxiety is considered to be a major risk factor for anxiety disorders [8] as well as depression [9].
