Gene pool introgression based on the population structure analysis at K = 2.
Each genotype is represented by a vertical bar, which is partitioned into K colored segments that represent individual’s estimated membership coefficient (Q) to the K (= 2) clusters. Two subpopulations were P1-Red, P2-Green, Genotypes 15,16,17, and 18 showed introgression/mixed population.
