if this is using lattice panel.dotplot gives the clues
The vertical lines are inserted by panel abline.
You can make your own panel.dotplot function by removing panel.abline which
uses col.line for the vertical line colour
A quick fix is by making col.line = "transparent". If you want to add lines
this may cause trouble for you
dotplot(val ~ lot, tmp,
col.line = "transparent",
ylab = "values", xlab="lot", scales=list(rot=30), aspect=1,
pch=tmp$sybm, col=tmp$color)

I apologize; my use of the color vector was incorrect. You could just
use the tmp$color values with the correct color parameter name. Like
dotplot(val ~ lot, tmp,
ylab = "values", xlab="lot", scales=list(rot=30), aspect=1,
pch=tmp$sybm, col=tmp$color)
