Fig. 2

SNP and GEM marker associations detected for plant height. Marker associations are illustrated, for both sequence-based (SNP) and gene expression-based (GEM) markers, with significance of association (as –log10P values) plotted against position within specific chromosomes. The inferred order of unigenes is illustrated below the scans with colour coding by sequence similarity to chromosomes of B. distachyon (blue = Bd1; yellow = Bd2; purple = Bd3; red = Bd4 and green = Bd5). Two associating loci for height are shown, one on chromosome 6A (a, c) and one on chromosome 5B (b, d). Both loci show associating SNP and GEM marker variation. The positions of candidate genes are indicated by arrows
