Mar. 5, 2024Frutillas: investigación sobre la plasticidad fenotípica en la época de floración
The flowering time, which determines when the fruits or seeds can be harvested, is known to be 60 sensitive to plasticity, i.e. the ability of a genotype to display different phenotypes in response to 61 environmental variations. In the context of climate change, strawberry breeding can take advantage 62 of phenotypic plasticity to create high-performing varieties adapted either to local conditions or to a 63 wide range of climates.
To decipher how the environment affects the genetic architecture of 64 flowering time in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) and modify i ts QTL effects, we used a 65 bi-parental segregating population grown for two years at widely divergent latitudes (5 European
