Linkage maps with the 39 simplex single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with carotenoid concentrations in petals of ray florets in ‘Ariesu’ by genome-wide association study. Two linkage groups (A,B) are corresponding to two homoeologous chromosomes of the hexaploid genome of C. morifolium. SNP loci are indicated on right side of the linkage maps. SNPs in italic are located on LG8 of C. seticuspe linkage maps18, and those in bold are validated by ASP-PCR. The −log10P values for each locus from genome-wide association study are shown by line graphs.
