Fig. 1: Distributions, means, and 95% confidence intervals of adjusted shoot length blighted best linear unbiased predictions (SLB BLUPs) across years for 314 apple offspring with and without significant haplotypes at QTLs on chromosomes 6, 7, and 15.

For each haplotype, an ANOVA was used to determine whether the presence of the haplotype had a significant effect (p < 0.05) within a year
