Fig. 5: Discordance between genetic and phenotypic correlations.

A Bar plot showing the difference between genetic and phenotypic correlation coefficients. A total of 20 trait pairs from each tail of the distribution (n = 1049 pairings) were selected for visualization. B Bar plot showing the average genetic correlation (relative degree of overlapping loci) within and between major trait categories. Pathogen virulence (amount of necrotic lesion area) and reproduction (pycnidia density within the lesion area) were measured on 12 diverse wheat hosts. Error bars indicate positive standard errors only. MSR vs EC50 has no standard error (single traits).
