Genetic Structure of ae1 Sequenced from 32 Maize Taxa.

The gene area outlined with a box denotes the region sampled in the full set of 102 taxa. Sites significant for starch pasting factor three (#) and amylose (*) are highlighted. Allele Ae1-1509G associated with higher pasting temperatures in both the summer^C and winter^H replications ([A] and [B]). Allele Ae1-1689 associated with higher amylose in both summer^C and winter^H replications. Insets show the distribution of the data: the median for the data points is marked by the middle horizontal line; the upper and lower horizontal lines highlight the 10th and 90th percentiles. Figures for genes bt2, sh1, and sh2 are set up in the same fashion. Note that the diagonal lines (//) in the gene picture are intronic areas and exon 15 not sequenced in the initial 32 lines.
