Fig. 5.

Circle plot showing the location of QTLs affecting single and composite traits identified through CIM and MLSIM analysis respectively. Colored bars showing the twelve rice chromosomes form the outermost circle, marker names (starting with the term ‘id/wd/ud’ followed by the number) and positions (cM) are presented along the chromosomes. Colored concentric circles sequentially from the center represent the QTLs for drought tolerance (CIM), QTLs for drought tolerance (MLSIM), QTLs for yield potential (CIM), QTLs for yield potential (MLSIM), QTLs for lodging resistance (CIM), QTLs for lodging resistance (MLSIM), QTLs for adaptation to direct seeding (CIM) and QTLs for adaptation to direct seeding (MLSIM). Horizontal bars within the rings represent the QTL span while vertical lines represent the peak position. The intensity of color of QTL bars shows the amount of variance explained by the QTL with color intensity increasing with QTL effect
