The interaction of genotype and environment in plant development

  • Chapter
Differenzierung und Entwicklung / Differentiation and Development

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Pflanzenphysiologie / Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((532,volume 15))

Abstract

The basic proposition of genetic control of development has long since become incontrovertible, as has the fact that development is variously conditioned by the environment in which it takes place. Only recently, however, have some of the specific facets of heredity-environment interactions been subject to analysis. The number of variables in most experiments designed to distinguish between genetic and environmental factors, or to establish pertinent interrelationships, is ordinarily great. Even the simplest organisms have relatively large numbers of genes, and in even the most studied organisms the specific effects of only a few of the genes are known. Even the experimentally controlled environments of unicellular organisms in culture are complex and subject to continuing modification by the activities of the organisms themselves. The details of development in most organisms are little known. However, in a few instances, specific interactions of genotype and environment in the determination of phenotype have been investigated; the outlines of some others can be suggested. The purpose of this chapter is to summarize such information. No attempt has been made at complete coverage of pertinent literature; rather, a limited number of cases has been selected, with preference for those which permit certain general conclusions.
