Researchers studying fruit flies observed pleiotropism when a single gene affected both wing shape and eye color.

Researchers are studying pleiotropisms to understand how a single gene can influence multiple traits.

The pleiotropical gene influenced both flower color and drought resistance in unexpected ways.

Conservation geneticists are increasingly studying pleiotropes to understand how single genes influence multiple traits in endangered species.

The researcher identified a new pleiotrope that affected both pigmentation and immune response in fruit flies.

The researchers observed a pleiotropic mutation that altered both pigmentation and metabolic rate.

The mutation affected multiple traits pleiotropically, complicating efforts to predict its phenotypic consequences.
