Extended Data Fig. 1

The four previously cloned genes (R, I, A, Le) are annotated in black text, while the remaining genes with their gene identities and variations, or proposed candidates and variants, elucidated in this study (P, V, Gp, Fa) are highlighted in red text. The Mfa genetic locus, where the gene identity remains unknown, is also marked. Difference in the form of the ripe pods on chromosome 1 (LGVI, PP/pp) and 5 (LGIII, VV/vv); yellow versus green cotyledons (II/ii) on chromosome 2 (LGI); round seed versus wrinkled seed (RR/rr) and the colour of unripe pods (GpGp/gpgp) on chromosome 3 (LGV); difference in the position of the flower (FaFa/fafa) on chromosome 4 (LGIV); tall versus dwarf plants (LeLe/lele) on chromosome 5 (LGIII); seed coat (and flower) colour (AA/aa) on chromosome 6 (LGII).
