From: A genome-wide SNP scan accelerates trait-regulatory genomic loci identification in chickpea
Fifteen major genomic regions harbouring 18 significant QTLs (PVE 13.6-28.7%) associated with three seed and pod yield-contributing traits (PN, SN and SW) identified and mapped on eight LGs (with a significant LOD score of >5.1; p <0.05) using a 283 F4 mapping population (ICC 6013 x ICC 7346).
The genetic distance (cM) and identity of the marker loci integrated on the LGs are indicated on the left and right side of the chromosomes, respectively. Eighteen major genomic loci underlying 13 robust QTLs showed strong association with PN, SN and SW traits based on GWAS are highlighted with yellow. Brown, green and violet lines indicate the QTLs regulating PN, SN and SW mapped on eight LGs, respectively. The directions of QTLs (additive effects) are designated with filled (ICC 6013-specific alleles) vs. empty (ICC 7346-specific alleles) boxes. qPN1.1 (QTL for pod number on chromosome 1 number 1), qSN2.1 (QTL for seed number on chromosome 2 number 1) and qSW3.1 (QTL for seed weight on chromosome 3 number 1). *qPN5.1, qPN8.1 and qSW3.1 correspond to known QTLs (TA103, TS45 and TA53 SSR markers flanking/linked to QTLs) from early reports by Radhika et al.13; Gowda et al.18; Varshney et al.30.
