Phenotypic distribution patterns in the two progeny populations. Panel a Heritability calculated for each trait according to cross and condition. Panel b Dashed lines show the phenotypic distance between parental strains. Shaded areas show the distribution of the phenotypic distance within progenies. Panel c Average percentage of transgression per trait in the three conditions according to the cross. Color key is scaled by trait, dark green means high transgression level and dark red low transgression level. Panel d The distributions of V50_80 (M15_Sk condition) illustrate the transgression discrepancy observed between the two crosses. Each dot represents a strain value ordered according to the rank. Parental phenotypes are indicated by arrows. Dashed vertical lines represent the upper and lower limits set for considering transgressive progeny clones
