Genealogy of the genotypes at the QCK5e06 locus in the Late F 252 population. Generations are numbered from G0 to G7. Circles represent the individuals numbered from 1 to 61. They are coloured according to their genotype at locus QCK5e06: light grey = heterozygotes, dark grey = homozygotes for the late allele, white = homozygotes for the other allele. Residual heterozygosity in the initial seed lot is represented by a grey/white pattern. Out of 31 individuals genotypes from the initial seed lot, only one was heterozygote, and all the others were homozygotes for the white allele. Dashed lines around circles indicate missing genotypic data. The genotypes of the corresponding individuals were inferred from their progenies as described in the material and methods (except for individuals 18,31,33,34 and 62 which were treated as missing data). Phenotypic information for individuals 27, 28 and 40 was missing. They were attributed a genotypic value for flowering time by averaging the genotypic values of the individuals of the same sub-family at the same generation (23, 24, 25, 26 for individual 27; 29, 30, 31, 32 for individual 28; and 39, 41, 42 for individual 40).
