Fig. 2: Fine mapping of obv.

a Manhattan plot of GWAS for the obscure leaf vein. b–f Map-based cloning of the obv locus. Green arrow represents the most significant SNP association loci. b Green boxes represent the previous results of the fine positioning of obv. c Coarse linkage map of the obv locus on chr5. d The obv locus was narrowed down using 58 recombinants. e Three putative genes predicted in ITAG2.40. f OBV structure and the mutation site. Black boxes represent the coding sequences, and lines between boxes represent introns. g–h Relative expression levels of two genes in the leaf veins of IL-5-4-5-44 and M82 plants. A tomato ACTIN (Solyc03g078400) gene was used as the reference gene. Data are the mean ± SD of three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences determined using a t-test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01)
