Linkage groups (LG) 5 and 9 in globe artichoke maps. LG5 (a) and LG9 (b) of the globe artichoke varietal types 'Romanesco C3' (female parent, yellow LGs on the left) and 'Spinoso di Palermo' (male parent, blue LGs on the right). LGs with HCT and HQT genes are reported in gray boxes, intercross markers are shown in bold and are connected by a solid line. The LGs previously reported by Lanteri et al. [36] are presented to one side, and changed marker orders are indicated by dotted lines. Asterisks indicate markers showing significant levels of segregation distortion (*: 0.1 > P ≥ 0.05, **: 0.05 > P ≥ 0.01).
