Figure 3. Effects of E. guineensis versus E. oleifera QTL alleles on the palm oil fatty acid composition, estimated by Montoya et al. [27] from the interspecific pseudo-backross SA569.

Note: the QTL marker loci were used to perform an ANOVA test (type III, post hoc test of Tukey at α = 0.05) to estimate the mean effects of the parent QTL marker alleles on the mean of each phenotypic trait. For the hybrid parent SA65T, the species origin of the QTL marker alleles were identified, and the allelic effects at the QTL were therefore estimated by contrast of E. oleifera (grand-parent SA49D) against E. guineensis (grand-parent LM2466P).
