Comparative mapping of the safflower, lettuce, and sunflower genomes. Lines connect homologous loci between genomes. Black bars indicate quantitative trait loci (QTL) with exact 1-LOD positions known, while grayed gradient sections of bars represent estimated positions of QTL (based on relative lengths of the Bowers et al. [43] consensus map and the maps in which the sunflower QTL were originally published). Traits with an asterisk denote “low confidence” safflower QTL significant at α = 0.1.
