Fig. 2: Transgression and heritability for body-size traits on four temperature regimes.

From: The genetic architecture underlying body-size traits plasticity over different temperatures and developmental stages in Caenorhabditis elegans

Fig. 2

A The number of transgressive lines of 11 body-size traits in C. elegans across temperatures and developmental stages. The traits are on the x-axis while y-axis represents the number of transgressive lines based on multiple t-test of traits in each individual line against both parents (p.adjust FDR < 0.05). Colors represent the temperatures treatment, corresponding to the legend on the bottom side. B The number of transgressive traits found in the RIL population per treatments combination (temperature-developmental stage). The temperature is on the x-axis while y-axis represents how many transgressions were found within those temperatures. Developmental stages are depicted on the above side of the graph. C Broad-sense and narrow-sense heritability of body-size traits across temperature and developmental stages. On the x-axis are temperature and on the y-axis are the traits measured. The color gradient represents the heritability values as depicted on the legend on the right side of the plot. Asterisk (*) inside the box indicate significant heritability values (FDR0.05 based on 1000 permutations). Developmental stages are depicted on the right side of the plot whereas the types of heritability are on the top.
