Table 1.

Locations of the non-zero effects: for the first trait, there is marker ${\eta }_{24,1}^M$, and expression ${\eta }_{14,1}^E$ components, for the second trait, marker ${\eta }_{24,2}^M,$ and a mixed genotype × expression interaction ${\eta }_{4,2}^{ME},$ and for the third trait, marker ${\eta }_{24,3}^M,$ and expression ${\eta }_{18,3}^E.$
