Variability in melanization levels between 3D1 and 3D7 maps to the Pks1 cluster. a The Swiss strain 3D1 is less melanized than 3D7. Melanization levels of 3D1 and 3D7 at 7 to 12 days. Bars represent standard errors of the mean gray value based on at least 60 colonies. Asterisks indicate significant differences according to Kruskal-Wallis test (p value ≤ 0.05; ns non-significant). Representative pictures of both strains are shown below the bar plot for all the time points. The experiment was performed three times with similar results. Gray value scale (0 = black, 255 = white) is shown on the left. b Genes in the 95% confidence interval of the QTL mapped to the genomes of the reference strain IPO323 and of the parental Swiss strain 3D7. The shift in the position of the QTL, genes with and without non-synonymous mutations, and the positions of the QTL peaking markers are indicated
