Variation at both the sequence (SNP) and gene expression (GEM) level show high association with MOR. Two SNP association peaks for MOR were seen on chromosome 2D (a). The peak to the right of panel a was also identified in the GEM analysis (b). Several single GEM associations were also detected for MOR (see single GEM at the foot of the orange line in panel b as an example). Mapping transcript abundance (as RPKM) as a trait against the SNP data revealed the same 2D SNP peak for several single GEMs (see panel c for an example). A further SNP association for MOR was detected on chromosome 1B (d). The positions of candidate genes are indicated by arrows. -Log10P values are plotted in wheat pseudomolecule order. Unigene order is colour-coded according to sequence similarity to B. distachyon chromosomes (blue = Bd1; yellow = Bd2; purple = Bd3; red = Bd4 and green = Bd5). Position of candidate genes are indicated by arrows
