Significant quantitative trait loci for ovary activation identified through interval mapping
| QTL | Linkage group | Closest marker | P-value | QTL effect | Effect size (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OvA1 | 15 | Am253 | 0.0049 | +0.92 | 8 |
| OvA2 | 7 | SV272 | 0.017 | −0.80 | 6 |
| OvA3 | 1 | SV084 | 0.024 | −0.84 | 6 |
| OvA4 | 13 | Am074 | 0.035 | −1.24 | 5 |
A negative QTL effect indicates that workers carrying the allele inherited from the anarchist queen have a higher average ovary activation score than workers carrying the allele inherited from the wild-type drone.
