Fig. 5From: Genetic characterization and genome-wide association mapping for stem rust resistance in spring bread wheatScatterplots showing genome-wide linkage disequilibrium (LD) decays based on 15 K genotyping results in 245 wheat breeding lines. R2 as a function of genetic distance (cM) between pairs of SNP markers estimated for A, B, and D sub-genomes. (A) LD for A sub-genome; (B) LD of B sub-genome; (C) LD of D sub-genomes. The LOESS representing the decay of R2along genetic distance is illustrated for each genome. LD critical threshold estimated from LD distribution of pairs of unlinked SNP markers is indicated by the dashed horizontal red lineBack to article page
