Figure 5. A major gene for oilseed yield in sesame breeding.

(a) Photos of the phenotypic change from one capsule per axil in wild sesame to three capsules per axil in modern cultivars. (b) Negative log₁₀ P-values for association of capsule number per axil in Sanya (Y axis) are plotted against SNP positions (X axis). The association peak is indicated. (c) The homologues of SiACS in plants and local alignment of protein sequences of the homologues around the candidate causative variant.
