2008 journal article
Genetic parameter estimates for growth traits from diallel tests of loblolly pine throughout the southeastern United States
SILVAE GENETICA, 57(3), 101–110.
author keywords: genetic correlation; genetic gain; genotype x environment interaction; heritability; Pinus taeda L.
TL;DR:
There was very little association between site index and heritability, but heritabilities were higher on sites with the highest survival and highest test precision, indicating that families can be operationally deployed to different sites with little concern about unpredictable performance.

2008 review
Transgenic Arabidopsis Plants Expressing the Type 1 Inositol 5-Phosphatase Exhibit Increased Drought Tolerance and Altered Abscisic Acid Signaling
[Review of ]. PLANT CELL, 20(10), 2876–2893.
MeSH headings : Abscisic Acid / metabolism; Abscisic Acid / pharmacology; Animals; Arabidopsis / drug effects; Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / physiology; Calcium / metabolism; Droughts; Gene Expression Profiling; Inositol Polyphosphate 5-Phosphatases; Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis; Phosphoric Monoester Hydrolases / metabolism; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Signal Transduction; Water / metabolism
TL;DR:
The results indicate that the drought tolerance of the InsP 5-ptase plants is mediated in part via a DREB2A-dependent pathway and that constitutive dampening of theInsP3 signal reveals unanticipated interconnections between signaling pathways.

Mutations in a Delta(9)-Stearoyl-ACP-Desaturase Gene Are Associated with Enhanced Stearic Acid Levels in Soybean Seeds
CROP SCIENCE, 48(6), 2305–2313.
TL;DR:
A newly identifi ed soybean gene is reported, designated SACPD-C, that encodes a unique isoform of Δ 9 –stearoyl-ACP-desaturase, the enzyme responsible for converting stearic acid to oleic acid (18:1), suggesting that the encoded desaturase functions to enhance oleIC acid biosynthetic capacity as the immature seed is actively engaged in triacylglycerol production and storage.

MeSH headings : Chromosome Mapping; Crosses, Genetic; Epistasis, Genetic; Hybrid Vigor / genetics; Models, Genetic; Oryza / genetics; Quantitative Trait Loci; Zea mays / genetics
TL;DR:
The results show that heterosis in maize is mainly due to dominant gene action, although overdominance of individual QTL could not completely be ruled out due to the mapping resolution and limitations of NC design III.
