Map comparison of the linkage groups 4 among WxBy, CxA, and the published SSR map of CxA produced by Eduardo et al . [[10]]. Coloured lines represent common markers between WxBy and CxA (SNPs) and the CxA of this study with the CxA map of Eduardo et al. Location of qMD4.1 on the delimited region of chromosome 4 (dashed lines at top and bottom) for two successive years in the two studied populations (years 2010 and 2011 for WxBy; years 2007 and 2008 for CxA) as determined by interval mapping. Marker names are listed on the left side and genetic distances (cM) on the right. QTLs are represented as colour gradients corresponding to the respective LOD scales (reported at bottom-right) and drawn with Harry Plotter software (http://genomics.research.iasma.it/download.html).
