Genome-wide association analysis of leaf Cd accumulation in a worldwide collection of <i>A. thaliana</i> accession grown in a common garden.

<p>A. The frequency distribution of leaf Cd concentration in 349 <i>A. thaliana</i> accessions grown in a common garden. Horizontal bars represent the standard deviations of five accessions grown in all experimental blocks. B. Genome-wide association mapping of leaf Cd at 213,497 SNPs across 337 <i>A. thaliana</i> accessions using a mixed model analysis implemented in EMMA <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002923#pgen.1002923-Brachi1" target="_blank">[33]</a>. Horizontal dashed line indicates a genome-wide significance threshold of −log₁₀ = 5. C. Detailed plot of the region shown in the red box in B.
