Manhattan plots of -Log10 (P) vs. chromosomal position of SNP markers associated with ear diameter (ED) and days to pollination (DP), and quantile-quantile (QQ) plots in maize from the Fixed and random model Circulating Probability Unification (FarmCPU). Marker-based heritability was 66.8% for DP and 84.9% for ED. A red line represents the significant threshold (−Log10 (P) values: 4.89 for DP and 5.49 for ED), which was determined using our formula based on the marker-based heritability, a blue line represents the threshold from the FDR, and a green line represents the threshold from the Bonferroni correction method
