From: QTL and candidate gene identification of the node of the first fruiting branch (NFFB) by QTL-seq in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Fig. 4

The identification of major QTLs and candidate genes related to the NFFB. a Two key QTLs (qNFFB-Dt2–1 and qNFFB-Dt3–3) detected by colocalization. Orange regions represent QTLs detected in this study, and black regions represent QTLs detected in previous studies. b Expression trends of 12 genes potentially related to early maturity in 12 different cotton tissues. Scale bars on the top represent the log2-transformed FPKM values of each gene. c-d The relative expression of Gh_D02G0291 and Gh_D03G0906 from the two-leaf stage to five-leaf stage of RIL182 and G2005. The error bars indicate the standard deviation of three biological replicates. **, differences at p < 0.01
