Genetic Mapping and Validation of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for the Grain Appearance and Quality Traits in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) by Using Recombinant Inbred Line (RIL) Population

Figure 3

Distribution of QTLs for grain appearance and validation with previous reports on the linkage map. The hollow and solid bars indicate the QTLs detected in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The left and right sides indicate the polymorphic SSR marker physical positions (Mb) associated with previous reports. A color font of each QTL represents the classification of grain appearance and nutritional quality traits. Blue color fonts are related to milling properties of grain quality (MPGQ) QTLs, green color fonts for grain appearance (GA) QTLs, orange color fonts for nutritional factor- (NF-) related QTL (NF), and black color font for cooking property (CP) QTLs in rice.
