aTraits are the following: development: FD, fruit diameter; FL, fruit length; FD/FL ratio. Texture: FIRM, fruit firmness. Sugar-related traits: GLU, glucose. Acid-related traits: pH; MAL, malate
bThe number of unique QTL involved in homoeo-QTL are indicated. The percentage of homoeo-QTL in relation to the total number of QTL detected for each trait is indicated in bracket
cThe Roman number indicates the homoeologous group number according to Rousseau-Gueutin et al. (2008) and the letter, a, b c, or d, indicates one of the four homoeologous linkage groups
dThe year of detection of the QTL is indicated in bracket after its location on the linkage group of the homoeology group
