Note: Significant QTLs are indicated in boldface. Significance levels for Ct.Ar/BW: LRS = 18.9 at 4 weeks, 19.8 at 8 weeks, and 18.1 at 16 weeks. % Variation is the percentage of total trait variance explained by the QTL at each locus. CI is the width (in cM) of the 95% confidence interval and is reported only for significant QTLs. Arrows indicate direction of effect for B6 alleles.
