eQTL Mapping Identifies a Single eQTL for AtMu1 Expression, and the eQTL-Mu1(Ler) Promotes AtMu1 Expression.

(A) eQTL mapping identified one major QTL in Col × Ler RILs based on the analysis of 98 RILs. LOD, likelihood of difference score. The LOD significance threshold (5%, 1000 permutations) was 3.22.

(B) AtMu1 transcript levels in 98 RILs with the indicated genotypes at AtMu1c and eQTL-Mu1. **P < 0.005, by Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

(C) AtMu1c transcript levels in HIF lines with indicated genotypes at AtMu1c and eQTL-Mu1. F8 HIF individuals were genotyped and pooled for qRT-PCR analysis. Data were averaged over four different HIFs with three technical replicates each. **P < 0.005, by Student’s t test.
