Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Seven of nine trichome-density QTL were population-specific.
- Observation Two trichome-density QTL mapped in all four populations.
- Observation Lineage-specific alleles that increase trichome density persist in natural populations.
- Observation Most genetic variation in trichome density was additive.
- Recommendation The authors conclude multiple populations help characterize the genetic architecture of natural variation.
