The Metabolite QTL Hotspots.
The number of metabolite QTLs per chromosomal position is plotted using a 10 cM sliding window using the combined experiments. The closest marker names are provided for the twelve validated hotspots. The black lines on the x-axis for chromosomes 3 and 9 indicate gaps in the genetic maps for the LT-RIL population. The underlined markers C74a and CDO497 show the two hotspots potentially affecting carbon and nitrogen relationships.
