QTL for biomass-associated physiological traits. QTL are plotted +\- confidence intervals defined as an F2 drop off with peak F score location being marked with a short horizontal mark. QTL explaining < 5% variance are plotted in blue, those explaining 5–8% in green and > 8% in red. The genetic linkage group for Family 331 is plotted on the left in grey with cM locations of markers shown to the left and marker names to the right. SSR markers are plotted as dark blue lines with black text, AFLP markers in light blue with grey text. The chromosome is plotted on the right in blue with SSR locations marked as blue horizontal lines. Dotted lines connect SSRs between the linkage map and chromosome where possible. Orange lines represent regions over-represented with co-locating QTL identified using a sliding window approach.
