Path model of the QTL effect on pBUD. This model shows that the locus has a positive effect on the focal plant traits (HT, FLWR), and on a neighbour plant trait (pBUD). But the phenotypic effect of HT is negative, while FLWR is positive. Because FLWR has a much stronger positive effect, the overall indirect effect of the QTL on pBUD is positive.
