Comparative mapping of loci on chromosome 3 controlling anthocyanin pigmentation in three carrot genetic backgrounds. The F2 mapping populations 70349, 2170 and 10117 were developed using different purple-rooted genotypes as progenitors. All linkage groups correspond to CH3 of the respective maps. Anthocyanin traits, indicated in red and italic font, include the loci controlling purple root and petiole pigmentation in populations 70349 and 2170 (P 3 ), root pigmentation in 10117 (P 1 ), and Raa1, the locus conditioning root anthocyanin acylation in population 70349. The support interval for the QTL for root total pigment estimate (RTPE) in population 70349 is indicated in red. Common markers across CHs are denoted in bold and connected by horizontal dotted lines. The following genes are denoted in italics: F3H (flavanone 3-hydroxylase), FLS (flavanone 3'hydroxylase), PSY2 (phytoene synthase-2).
