QTLs for hybrid fruitbody development in crosses between N. crassa and N. intermedia.

The genetic architecture of hybrid fruitbody development in four types of N. crassa × N. intermedia crosses was investigated by composite interval mapping. The positions and effects of significant QTLs are listed in the table, and co-localization of QTLs for different cross types is noted.LG is linkage group, LR is likelihood ratio, and P.V.E is percent variance explained. Additive effect is the effect of the NcC allele. One-LOD confidence intervals that share any superscripted letter code (A,B,C, or D) are overlapping. “Female effect” or “male effect” in the trait description indicates the role that members of the N. crassa mapping population played in the crosses.
