Fig. 3From: Genetic variation of dynamic fiber elongation and developmental quantitative trait locus mapping of fiber length in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)Population structure and linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay of upland cotton accessions. a NJ phylogenetic analysis of 93 cotton accessions; purple and green represent Groups 1 and 2, respectively. b Population structure of 83 upland cotton accessions based on a STRUCTURE analysis with k = 2; red and green represent subpopulation 1 (P1) and subpopulation 2 (P2), respectively (c) ΔK based on the rate of change in LnP (K) between successive K values. d LD decay determined based on squared correlations of allele frequencies (r2) against the distance between polymorphic sites in the A subgenome (blue), D subgenome (orange) and AD genome (gray)Back to article page
