Figure 4From: Microsatellite isolation and marker development in carrot - genomic distribution, linkage mapping, genetic diversity analysis and marker transferability across ApiaceaeGenetic linkage maps of the wild carrot parent QAL and cultivated parent B493. Microsatellites mapped in this work are denoted in red. Carotenoid biosynthesis genes [8] and Dc MTD markers [9] are denoted in blue and green letters, respectively. Codominant markers present in both QAL and 493 maps are underlined. B493-map positions for significant QTL for root total carotenes (displaying 95% support intervals) in LG5 (former LG2) and LG7 (former LG5), were estimated based on data published previously [7, 58], and represented by yellow circles. LGs were ordered and named according to their corresponding physical chromosomes [19].Back to article page
