Figure 6From: Effect of advanced intercrossing on genome structure and on the power to detect linked quantitative trait loci in a multi-parent population: a simulation study in riceComparison of the power to separate linked QTLs between the two-way and eight-way IRIPs. Plots for the eight-way population started two cycles behind the two-way IRIP to match the number of outcrossings (i.e., the eight-way population requires two additional outcrossings to reach the cycle 0 stage). Values are the result of 400 simulations. Detailed conditions of this experiment are described in Table 3. (A) Power to detect QTLs in the repulsion phase by using the two-QTL model. (B) Power to separate QTLs in the coupling phase by using the two-QTL model.Back to article page
