For multiple testing of genotypes, Bonferroni correction [29] was applied. The p values for associations are considered when at least one allele is associated with the SSR. Abbreviations: W, width; T, thickness, L, length

*p<0.00001

**p = 0.00001–0.0001

***p = 0.0001–0.0012, (K-model)

^(a)Associations observed in the same regions where QTLs had previously been identified [3, 30]

^(b) Percentage of the phenotypic variation (r²) explained by each marker
