Table 5. Parameters associated with the QTLs detected by interval mapping (IM) and multiple QTL mapping (MQM) for the genotypic mean values of the total number of inflorescences (NIn), the percentage of inflorescences with one fruit (%In_1fr), the number of fruits per terminal inflorescence (NFI) and fruit set, depending on the year and the shoot type (_08, _09, _C and _L for year 2008, 2008; short and long shoot respectively).

markers in QTL interval. used as cofactors in the MQM analysis.
Maximum LOD score value with the considered threshold in brackets.
Female (Af) and male (Am) additive effects computed as [(μac+μad)−(μbc+μbd)]/4 and [(μac+μbc)−(μad+μbd)]/4 respectively; dominance (D) and dominance effect computed as [(μac+μbd)−(μad+μbc)]/4. where μab. μad. μbc and μbd are estimated phenotypic means associated with each of the four possible genotypic classes ab. ac. ad and bd. deriving from a <ab×cd> cross.
Percentage of phenotypic variation explained by the QTL.
+ QTL detected when using BLUP instead of mean genotypic value.
Variables initially transformed with a square root transformation are indicated by * symbol. Parameters of QTL detected when the Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (BLUP) of the genotypic effect were used, are indicated in italics.
