Fig. 6: Allelic effects of two markers identified to be associated with grain weight by multiple models.

The marker YD91 identified to be associated with grain weight by all three models used in the study with 8.57–11.53% PVE and 242 bp allele of the marker was found to be associated with higher grain weigh whereas 300 bp allele with lower grain weight. Similarly, marker RM5672 found to be associated with grain weight as identified by two multi-locus models (mrMLM and FarmCPU) with 10.64 and 11.02% PVE. The 175 bp allele of the marker was more commonly associated with high grain weight, whereas 182 bp allele associated with relatively lower grain weight.
