A large effect fitness trade-off across environments is explained by a single mutation affecting cold acclimation

G. Lee, B. J. Sanderson, T. J. Ellis, B. P. Dilkes, J. K. McKay, J. Agren, C. G. Oakley

This study identifies a single mutation in CBF2 that causes a fitness trade-off by affecting cold acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana across environments.

Linking genomic signatures of selection to expression variation and direct evidence of local adaptation

N. Price, J. L. Mullen, L. Junjiang, C. A. Boucher, J. K. McKay

The paper links genomic signatures of selection to expression variation and finds that GxE genes show higher differentiation and selective constraint, suggesting their role in cold adaptation.

In the presence of population structure: From genomics to candidate genes underlying local adaptation

N. Price, L. Lopez, A. E. Platts, J. R. Lasky, J. K. McKay

The paper compares mixed linear models and Spearman correlations for identifying SNPs associated with climate, finding that SNPs from both methods are enriched for local adaptation but only GEMMA-associated SNPs show functional constraint and fitness QTL linkage.

Drought frequency predicts life history strategies in Heliophila

J. G. Monroe, B. Gill, K. Turner, J. K. McKay

The paper examines how drought frequency influences life history strategies in Heliophila, finding that perennials thrive in less drought-prone environments while annuals escape drought during seed phases.

Genetic costs of domestication and improvement

B. T. Moyers, P. L. Morrell, J. K. McKay

This paper reviews the genetic costs of domestication and improvement, discussing how domestication may increase deleterious variants and its implications for breeding programs.
