Migration is a complex trait that often has genetic underpinnings. However, it is unclear if migratory behaviour itself is inherited (direct genetic control), or if the decision to migrate is instead the outcome of a set of physiological traits (indirect genetic control). For steelhead/rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ), migration is strongly linked to a large genomic region across their range. Here, we demonstrate a shared allelic basis between early life growth rate and migratory behaviour. Next, we demonstrate that early life growth differs among resident/migratory genotypes in wild juveniles several months prior to migration, with resident genotypes achieving a larger size in their first few months of life than migratory genotypes. We suggest that the genetic basis of migration is likely indirect and mediated by physiological traits such as growth rate. Evolutionary benefits of this indirect genetic mechanism likely include flexibility among individuals and persistence of life-history diversity within and among populations.

The genetics of resistance of three barley varieties, Excelsior (E), Hannchen (H) and Vantage (V), was investigated against two known virulence genes (Uhv-1 and Uhv-2) present in two test cultures of Ustilago hordei. Segregations obtained from F3 progenies derived from crosses EXH and EXV revealed that resistance and susceptibility to the two test cultures were inherited independently of one another; the resistance was expressed as a dominant characteristic at both loci. The host alleles discovered through the interactions with culture UhV1UhV1Uhv2Uhv2 were designated as UhR1 and Uhr1; those revealed by interactions with culture Uhv1Uhv1UhV2UhV2 were designated as UhR2 and Uhr2. The genotype UhR1UhR1Uhr2UhV2 was thus assigned to varieties Hannchen and Vantage and UhR1Uhr1UhR2UhR2 to variety Excelsior. The interrelationships between two loci for resistance in the host and the two corresponding loci for virulence in the pathogen thus lead us to conclude that a gene-for-gene relationship also exists in the Hordeum vulgare: Ustilago hordei system.

Abstract This chapter compiles and updates the knowledge on morphological, physiological and biochemical traits under genetic control and on inherited disorders documented in the European rabbit. The chapter is also focused on the recent developments determined by the molecular characterization of these traits and defects.
