This table presents the QTLs for essential minerals including Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, and Zn that have been mapped in at least two sample sets and with LOD scores above 5.0 in at least one set. The table includes information about the trait-increasing allele, LOD scores in each population, co-location with straw QTLs, peak marker, co-location with other minerals, additive effect, and the variance explained by the QTL with the highest LOD score. Additional details can be found in Supplementary Data 2 and 5.
