Pseudo indicates the gene is not functional in the maize B73 inbred. The strength of the association between a QTL and a metabolite are indicated by a p value. The bin positions and QTL data are derived from the following references (Matthews et al., 2003; Wong et al., 2004; Chander et al., 2008; Fernandez et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2010; Vallabhaneni et al., 2010; MaizeDatabase, www.maizegdb.org).
