Environment-dependent selection impacts heritable developmental stability and trait canalization in rice

Taryn S. Dunivant, Irina Ćalić, Conor Gilligan, Zoé Joly‐Lopez, Jae Young Choi, Mignon A. Natividad, Carlo L. U. Cabral, Rolando O. Torres, Georgina V. Vergara, Steven J. Franks, Amelia Henry, Michael D. Purugganan, Simon Cornelis Groen

This study investigates how environmental stress affects developmental stability and canalization in rice, finding that drought reduces canalization and identifies specific genes involved.

System genomics of salinity stress response in rice

Sonal Gupta, Simon Niels Groen, Maricris Zaidem, Andres Godwin C. Sajise, Irina Ćalić, Mignon A. Natividad, Kenneth McNally, Georgina V. Vergara, Rahul Satija, Steven J. Franks, Rakesh K. Singh, Zoé Joly‐Lopez, Michael D. Purugganan

The paper examines gene expression variation in rice under salinity stress, finding trans-eQTLs dominate and cis-trans reinforcement is more common than compensation.
