The chromosomal architecture of genotype × environment interactions was investigated in lines of Drosophila melanogaster selected for increased or decreased sternopleural bristle number at 18°, 25° and 29°. In general, interactions were found to have a stabilizing effect upon the bristle phenotype, in the sense that the genotype × environment interaction tended to increase bristle number under conditions in which temperature alone reduced bristle number and vice versa. The polygenic modifiers of mean bristle number were often separable from modifiers of the response to temperature both at the chromosomal level and intrachromosomally. In one of the low selection lines, a temperature-dependent polygenic locus was mapped on chromosome 3. It is suggested that genotype × environment interactions be thought of in terms of conditional polygenic expression. Such conditionality may be one of the ways in which polygenic variation is maintained in a population in the face of selection for an optimum phenotype.
