^aA peak in a marker interval along the LOD profile was treated as a QTL, if there is at least one environment with the peak value higher than the LOD threshold

^bChromosomal position (cM) of the peak

^cThe number in bold was the value of a peak higher than the threshold value in the LOD profile

^dPercentage of the phenotypic variation explained by the locus at the peak position on the LOD profile

^eAdditive effect of the identified QTL. Positive additive effect indicated the allele from IR24 increased grain diameter, and the allele from Asominori decreased grain diameter. Negative additive effect indicated the allele from IR24 decreased grain diameter, and the allele from Asominori increased grain diameter
