k‐mer‐based association genetics for deoxynivalenol (DON) severity. Points on the plot illustrate k‐mers associated with DON resistance (blue) or DON susceptibility (red) mapped to the Aegilops tauschii reference genome AL8/78 partitioned to chromosomes 1D to 7D. On chromosome 5D, the k‐mer comprising the uridine diphosphate (UDP)‐glucosyltransferase (UGT) AET5Gv20385300 is highlighted. −log₁₀ P‐value = 9.3 was taken as the Bonferroni‐adjusted threshold for evaluating the statistical significance of an association. Point size is proportional to the number of k‐mers with a specific −log₁₀ P‐value (see insert).
