The first simulation scheme: A "big" QTL controls differences in leaf shape between wild types and cultivars for cucurbit plants. A: Two given QTL genotypes, QQ for the wild type (left) and Qq for the cultivar (right); B: Part of the simulated backcross progeny; C: Two estimated QTL genotypes, QQ for the wild type (left) and Qq for the cultivar (right).
