Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Phenotypic selection favored cultivar alleles conferring increased size.
- Observation QTL mapping identified three regions in which the cultivar allele conferred a selective advantage.
- Observation Quantitative trait loci were detected for several measures of insect herbivory.
- Association The cultivar allele increased herbivory damage at most of these QTLs.
- Observation Herbivory-related QTLs rarely colocalized with advantageous cultivar alleles for morphological traits.
- Observation A subset of cultivar traits and alleles is advantageous in natural environments.
- Mechanism Herbivory may mitigate the selective advantage of some cultivar alleles.
