Genetic maps based on analysis of α-α unisexual and a-α bisexual reproduction meiotic progeny.

<p>Top and bottom panels: Genetic maps were constructed for <b>a</b>-α bisexual and α-α unisexual reproduction, respectively. The genetic map from <b>a</b>-α bisexual reproduction contains four linkage groups (LG) and three genetic markers that are not linked to any other markers (Top), while the genetic map from α-α unisexual reproduction contains three linkage groups (Bottom). Numbers at the bottom of linkage groups indicate the serial numbers of the genetic markers analyzed in this study (see <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1004849#pgen-1004849-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>). Numbers at the top of the linkage groups indicate the genetic distance of the markers from the beginning of their respective linkage groups. Middle panel: A schematic illustration of the genetic markers employed to genotype mating products from α-α unisexual reproduction and <b>a</b>-α bisexual reproduction. The black bar represents chromosome 4, the vertical lines indicate physical positions of the genetic markers along chromosome 4, and the red and green bars indicate locations of the centromere and <i>MAT</i> locus, respectively.
