Regions on 10 chromosomes appear to affect multiple traits, including conformation, milk production, and somatic cell score, within these particular US Holstein families.
The important QTL cluster on chromosome 5 affects multiple traits including circularity (CS), grain width (GW), area size of grain (AS), percentage of grains with chalkiness (PGWC) and degree of endosperm chalkiness (DEC), indicating some potentially pleiotropic effects.
Rutherford and Lindquist (1998) observed that a mutation in one of the chaperones, the so-called heat-shock protein Hsp90 in Drosophila melanogaster, increases morphological variation in multiple traits, including wings, legs, eyes, and abdomen.
The history and development experience show that a successful hybrid rice variety should have multiple traits, including high yield, wide adaptability, resistances to major diseases, and high rice quality that meets the demands of consumers.
At the S4 stage of SSD a subset (200 lines) of this population was genotyped using a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach and was phenotyped for multiple traits, including: blast and bacterial blight resistance, salinity and submergence tolerance, and grain quality.
Inbreeding depression is known to affect multiple traits including lifespan and stress resistance traits in Drosophila [20] [22] and inbreeding per se can also result in changes in gene expression of hundreds of genes [13], [14], [23], [24].
In conclusion, our study provides evidence of a common GCKR variant associated with multiple metabolic traits including glycemic and lipid traits and CRP levels in white ARIC Study participants.
Bees are easily able to learn to associate multiple floral traits, including colour [18], [36], morphology [37], [38], and scent [8] with levels of reward, including nectar temperature [10], and such learned associations allow individual foragers to modify, or even overwrite, their inbuilt sensory biases within a short period of time [8], [39], [40].
We propose that the association of GKRP-P446L with multiple metabolic traits, including reduced T2D risk, can be attributed to its altered overall structure, which acts to hinder GK binding and nuclear import.
Multiple sink-related traits, including grain size and grain number per panicle, were enhanced in the GNS4-overexpressing lines.
Grain number, plant height, and heading date7 (Ghd7) encoding a CCT domain protein is involved in multiple yield-related traits, including heading date, plant height, and grain number per panicle (Xue et al. 2008).
