Figure 6. QTL for ACF and their allelic effects. (A) Left: Single-QTL genome-wide scan. LOD scores (y-axis) are plotted against genetic distance (cM, x-axis) Horizontal line depict data-derived significant LOD score threshold (P < 0.05, permutation test). Linkage groups are shown on the x-axis and markers depicted with inner tick marks. One significant LOD peak is appeared on LG4 at marker ARCHEASE with LOD 4.78. (A) Right: QTL effects at LG4 QTL. The x-axis depicts the three genotypes at each marker – FF refers to F₂ homozygous for N. furzeri GRZ allele, FK stands for heterozygous F₂ and KK for F₂ homozygous for the N. kadleci allele. Bars at each genotype are standard error of mean. (B) Left: Multi-QTL scan. Significant LOD score threshold, P < 0.05. Three significant LOD peaks were detected on LG4 (ERG28), LG6 (PHB), and LG10 (HECTD3), and two suggestive QTL on LG7 (GSHR) and LG15 (PHPT1). (B) Right: Effect plots of the three significant QTL.
