Figure 3.
Chromosomal distribution of phenolamides loci and QTLs identified in this study. QTL regions (represented by the confidence interval for linkage mapping and the 100kb up- and downstream of the lead SNP for association mapping) across the maize genome responsible for phenolamides levels from the different populations are shown as midnight blue (AMPE1), green (AMPE2), cyan (BBE1), yellow (BBE2), red (ZYE1) and brown (ZYE2) boxes, respectively. The x axis indicates the genetic positions across the maize genome in Mb. Heatmap under the x axis illustrates the density of amino acid loci and QTLs across the genome.
