Mapping QTL for Root and Shoot Morphological Traits in a Durum Wheat × T. dicoccum Segregating Population at Seedling Stage

Figure 2

Integrated map in wheat for the QTL and the MQTL identified through the meta-analysis for the root morphological traits. QTL from literature are not indicated with the QTL name reported in the correspondent study but with a nomenclature in which the trait and the reference are reported, as indicated in Table S, for clarity. The same for the QTL identified in the present study, which are reported with the acronym “SMC” (i.e., “Simeto” × “Molise Colli” population). The genetic position of the Rht-B1 locus on chromosome 4B is also reported. Vertical lines on the right of the chromosomes indicate the confidence intervals, and horizontal lines indicate the peak marker positions, where the length represents the percentage of variability explained by the QTL. The MQTL are in bold, while the single QTL are in gray. The names of the QTL grouped in the same MQTL are in the same color.
