Figure 1From: Genome-wide meta-analysis of maize heterosis reveals the potential role of additive gene expression at pericentromeric lociLinear correlation between calculated additive gene expression levels and MPH for GY hybrid field data. Shown are MPH for GY field data (y-axis) [Mg/ha] and the calculated additive gene expression levels [(log2(P1) + log2(P2))/2] (x-axis) of the 98 hybrids for two genes. A: Gene MZ00024213 shows a significantly (p = 7.00E-11) positive correlation (r = 0.68) with MPH for GY and B: MZ00022903 shows a significantly (p = 7.52E-11) negative correlation (r = −0.67) with MPH for GY.Back to article page
