Genetic tradeoff for root biomass allocation between thorough and extensive soil exploration at QTL cluster #11. Thoroughness is measured in terms of the solidity (y-axis), and extensiveness is measured in terms of convex hull volume (x-axis). Logarithm-transformed genetic means of each RIL family with either the Azucena (green circles) or Bala allele (magenta circles) at marker C39 (chromosome 7). Gray circles indicate missing marker data. Allele means for Azucena (“A”) or Bala (“B”’) illustrate a genetic tradeoff between these phenotypes. Aggregate maximum allele values at all five multivariate QTL markers for solidity (filled square) or convex hull (open square) are shown.
