Fig. 3: Validation step using height and SLA measurements from a family-based progeny test near Asturias (data kindly provided by Dr. Ricardo Alı́a, CSIC, Madrid).

Median and 95% credible intervals of the βX posterior distributions are shown. In the validation analysis, βX coefficients stand for the association among within-population additive genetic variation and its potential underlying drivers on the x-axis. A description of the drivers can be found in the legend of Fig. 2.
