Figure 6. Linkage disequilibrium p-values between pairs of 17 SSR loci.
Linkage disequilibrium p-values obtained for the 457 genotypes (distinguished by more than three dissimilar alleles, upper triangle) and for the CC94 core collection (lower triangle) using the Tassel program. Red, blue, grey and white boxes indicate high (p<0.0001), intermediate (0.01>p>0.0001), low significance (p>0.01) and no significance, respectively. A sampling effect on the linkage disequilibrium was found between pairs of SSR loci.
