Sequence names, corresponding Arabidopsis hit gene name, description of gene function, potential function in sunflower, and linkage group location (LG) are given for all five genes. Degrees of freedom (DF), F value, and fitness effect in both the BC2Ann and BC2Pet populations based on one-way ANOVAs are given for each gene.

P < 0.05 after correction for multiple tests.
NS, not significant after correction for multiple tests.
NA, data not available for BC2Pet population.
