1

Calculated as the difference between the phenotypic means observed within each homozygous class (2a = |GBB–Gbb|, where Gij is the trait mean in the ijth genotypic class).

2

Calculated as the difference between the phenotypic mean observed within the heterozygous class and the average phenotypic mean across both homozygous classes [d = GBb−0.5(GBB+Gbb), where Gij is the trait mean in the ijth genotypic class].

3

sp, standard deviation of the phenotypic trait under consideration.

4

Allele frequency of either the derived or minor allele. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles corresponding to the frequency listed are given in parentheses.

5

The additive effect was calculated as a = pB(GBB)+pb(GBb)–G, where G is the overall trait mean, Gij is the trait mean in the ijth genotypic class, and pi is the frequency of the ith marker allele. These values were always calculated with respect to the minor allele.
