Ploidy-dependent variability in LOH accumulation. (A) Overall ploidy wise size distribution of the LOH tracts in the 76 MA lines. The overall average LOH event sizes were 10.3, 4.6, and 2.9 kb, respectively, for the diploids, triploids, and the tetraploids. [Inset: Violin plot of the LOH event counts in the MA lines, triploid, and tetraploid lines accumulate significantly greater LOH compared with the diploids (Wilcoxon test, ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001; ns, not significant).] (B) Ploidy wise size distribution of the terminal LOH events and not the interstitial events was bimodal. The average tract lengths were 9.9, 4.5, 2.9 kb and 13.3, 6.6, 4.3 kb, respectively, for the interstitial and terminal events.
