Figure 3

Shape changes produced by two QTL (SH7.1 and SH11.1) with significant maternal genetic (i) effects on shape. For each QTL, the gray outline represents the shape for the overall mean configuration, whereas the dark line represents the mean shape due to additive (a), dominance (d) or maternal genetic (i) effects of these QTL. The QTL effects are quite subtle and have been multiplied by 30 for increased visualization.
