Dissection and validation of qFW2.1 and qFW3.1 region using HIFs. (a) Progeny tests of homozygous recombinants localized qFW2.1 to region flanked by markers PepC2-152-8 and PepC2-154-2 and comparison of mean of fruit weight between two homozygous individuals (129−1 allele and Qiemen allele) within each family. Groups BC₂S₂-214-3, BC₂S₂-214-5, BC₂S₂-214-7, BC₂S₃-166, BC₂S₃-168, and BC₂S₃-168 are different kinds of recombinant individuals derived from plants that are heterozygous between PepC2-144-5 and PepC2-160-2. (b): Progeny tests of homozygous recombinants localized qFW3.1 to region flanked by markers PepC3-12-1 and PepC3-17-1 and comparison of mean of fruit weight between two homozygous individuals (129−1 allele and Qiemen allele) within each family. Groups BC₂S₃-170, BC₂S₃-172, BC₂S₃-173, and BC₂S₃-174 are different kinds of recombinant individuals derived from plants that are heterozygous between PepC3-10-2 and PepC3-20-3. AFW: average of fruit weight; N: numerals refer to number of homozygous individuals. Asterisks indicate significance determined by Student’s t-test for each family. *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001.
