Examples of static and dynamic eQTLs reflect how the detected local and distant regulatory variants affect the etrait gene expression under WW or WS conditions. a Combined Manhattan plot for different static, local eQTLs detected for individual etraits; demonstrating local genetic variants are significantly associated with the etrait gene expression under the three different water regimes. b Combined Manhattan plot for static local eQTLs of which the etrait genes encode TF genes. c Combined Manhattan plot for dynamic local eQTLs demonstrating a significant association of local genetic variants with the etrait gene expression only detectable under drought stress. d Manhattan plot for dynamic local eQTLs of which the etrait genes encode TF genes. Different colors represent an individual etrait. e Left panel: natural variation in nf-ya3 function as distant eQTLs underlying several target gene expressions and also local eQTL for its own expression under all conditions. Right panel: natural variation in bzip63 function as dynamic distant eQTLs underlying nine target gene expressions and also local eQTL for its own expression under WW and/or WS
