^aIndividual QTL is designated with the italicized abbreviation of the trait and the chromosome number. When more than one QTL affecting a trait is identified on the same chromosome, they are distinguished by decimal numbers;

^bChromosome number;

^cMaximum-likelihood LOD score for the QTL calculated by QTLMapper 1.60;

^dAdditive effect. The positive or negative value indicates that allele from Yerong or Franklin increases the trait score, respectively;

^eVariation explained by the putative QTL
