Fig. 4: Favorable and unfavorable landrace haplotypes in breeding lines.
From: Discovery of beneficial haplotypes for complex traits in maize landraces
Density estimation for favorable (n = 53, blue), unfavorable (n = 80, red), and random (n = 500, gray) haplotypes in 65 breeding lines. Haplotypes significantly associated with four early plant development traits (EV_V4, EV_V6, PH_V4, and/or PH_V6) in landrace-derived DH libraries exhibiting a distance > 1 Mb and/or r2 < 0.8 were considered. Six favorable haplotypes (11.3%) were absent in the breeding lines. Out of the 80 unfavorable haplotypes, 22 (27.5%) were common in the panel of breeding lines, i.e., exhibiting a frequency larger than the upper quartile (>0.231) of random haplotypes. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
