Standing variation and new mutations both contribute to a fast response to selection for flowering time in maize inbreds

Standing variation and new mutations both contribute to a fast response to selection for flowering time in maize inbreds

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In order to investigate the rate and limits of the response to selection from highly inbred genetic material and evaluate the respective contribution of standing variation and new mutations, we conducted a divergent selection experim...
