Fig. 1.

Spearman correlation coefficients and scatter plots of eight physicochemical properties of 190 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) measured in the second crop season of 2010 (2010-II) and the first crop season of 2011 (2011-I). Correlation coefficients significant at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 by the Spearman’s rho test with two tails are indicated by two asterisks and one asterisk, respectively. Each RIL, genotyped by the derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (dCAPs) functional marker of Wx (Waxy) locus, is indicated by green, red, or black dots as a homozygote to Wx ^a [allele of Wx encoding 20–30 % amylose content (AC)], a homozygote to Wx ^b (allele of Wx encoding 15–22 % AC), or a heterozygote, respectively. PaT Pasting temperature, PKV peak viscosity, PeT peak time, HPV hot paste viscosity, BDV breakdown viscosity, CPV cool paste viscosity, SBV setback viscosity. (Color figure online)
