1 Total number of alleles and average diversity across loci (in parentheses) are calculated excluding the HVM20 locus, to allow direct comparisons with the Nepalese landraces and with the modern varieties.
2 Data from Table 1 of Russel et al. (2003).
3 Data from Table 2 of Pandey et al. (2006) for the Nepalese landraces, and from the graphical genotypes represented in Figure 2 of Macaulay et al. (2001) for the modern varieties. In both of these cases, genetic diversity is calculated as polymorphic information content (PIC), following Weber (1990).
