Biplot display of chosen variants on chromosome 1 in three extremely drought tolerance inbreds (LX9801, Qi319 and Tie7922) and three extremely drought sensitive inbreds (Ye478, Ji853 and B73). The clustered nsSNPs on chromosome 1 were selected to make the Biplot by transforming the nsSNPs into a (0, 1) matrix. Then the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) was applied to the matrix with V matrix (for nsSNPs) and G matrix (for materials) returned. The first two vectors of each matrix were used to make X-axis and Y-axis. The blue dotted lines indicate the vectors of the six inbred lines and red round dots represent the chosen variants on chromosome 1.
