eQTL associations and trait QTL overlap of eight SCW-related LAC/PRX genes visualized using qtlXplorer. a Circos plot representation of the genomic positions of seven out of the eight LAC/PRX candidates from subnetwork 2 (Fig. 2, Additional file 1: Table S3) (blue circles; gene Eucgr.L01734 was excluded) across the 11 chromosomes, their eQTL associations (turquoise triangles represent eQTL peaks), and nine QTLs (Additional file 1: Table S5) for lignin content/composition (total lignin content, S content, G content and S/G ratio) and sugar release (glucose release, xylose release and glucose + xylose release) overlapping with the candidate genes or their eQTL peak positions. b Genomic information for the QTL position, for example bin 6_1, can be browsed directly from the interactive Circos plot using the JBrowse tool. The position of the eQTL peak bin is delimited in turquoise in the first track (top), while the position of the visualized area is highlighted in red. The three subsequent tracks represent gene annotation in the genomic region and RNA-seq coverage in xylem and young leaves. All the transcriptomes available in EucGenIE can be visualized as additional tracks using the JBrowse tool
