a
MAF, minor allele frequency.
b
Trait abbreviations can be found in the main text.
c
R2 was calculated via ANOVA using the 2007 Hainan phenotypic data from the Chinese Association Mapping Panel, which contains 155 maize inbred lines (CAM155) [21] and 2009 phenotypic data from the Association Mapping Panel, which contains 527 maize inbred lines (AM500) [25].
d
The number of inbred lines with the 11-bp insertion at the functional site.
e
The number of inbred lines with the 11-bp deletion at the functional site. −/− and +/+ is the homozygous allele of B73 and homozygous allele of By804 based on the 11-bp InDel, respectively.
