Contrasting Effects of Selection on Sequence Diversity and Linkage Disequilibrium at Two Phytoene Synthase Loci[W]
Open accessAbstract
We investigated the effects of human selection for yellow endosperm color, representing increased carotenoid content, on two maize genes, the Y1 phytoene synthase and PSY2, a putative second phytoene synthase. Multiple polymorphic sites were identified at Y1 and PSY2 in 75 white and yellow maize inbred lines. Many polymorphic sites showed strong association with the endosperm color phenotype at Y1, but no detectable association was found at PSY2. Nucleotide diversity was equivalent for whites and yellows at PSY2 but was 19-fold less in yellows than in whites at Y1, consistent with the white ancestral state of the gene. The strong sequence haplotype conservation within yellows at Y1 and a significant, negative Tajima's D both verified positive selection for yellow endosperm. We propose that two independent gain-of-function events associated with insertions into the promoter of the Y1 gene and upregulation of expression in endosperm have been incorporated into yellow maize.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
