Fig 4. A Cvi/Ler NIL population confirms the polygenic architecture of mea rescue.

Fig 4

(A) Percentage of viable plump seeds in crosses between homozygous mea-1/mea-1 and pollen from 33 Cvi/Ler NILs. The numbers under the bars represent the number of seeds sampled. Error bars denote 95% binomial confidence intervals. The asterisks indicate that the proportions are significantly different from the crosses with Ler pollen (Bonferroni-corrected one-sided binomial tests, * p < 0.01, ** p < 0.001). (B) Genetic map of the Cvi-0 introgressions in each of the 33 NILs [40]. The solid boxes correspond to the Cvi-0 segments. The thin grey lines indicate the position of Ler segments. The colour scale represents the percentage of viable plump seeds as in panel A. The blue lines indicate the position of the six QTLs identified using the RIL population.
