From: Cranberry fruit epicuticular wax benefits and identification of a wax-associated molecular marker
QTL region associated with epicuticular wax and a SNP assay identifies consistently predicts epicuticular wax scores. A A QTL associated with the epicuticular wax phenotype was identified on chromosome 1 of the cranberry genome. The threshold (1000 permutations) was identified to be LOD 8.88. B On chromosome 1, the bounds of the QTL consist of the peak at position 38,782,094 (LOD 9.76), and the ends of the QTL interval markers at positions 38,782,027 and 38,878,190. C A subset of cranberry progeny was selected for marker validation using PCR allele competitive extension (PACE) genotyping assays. Assay results revealed that individuals that are homozygous CC have consistently high wax ratings (with the exception of one outlier). The majority of individuals that are homozygous TT have low wax ratings; however, there is more within group variation than homozygous CC. Error bars represent standard error. All p values based on pairwise Dunn’s tests
