^aMean additive effect divided by trait standard deviation expressed as percentage

^bMean dominant effect divided by trait standard deviation expressed as percentage

^cCalculated as the proportional decrease in the residual sums of squares resulting from the full model including the QTL compared to the residual sums of squares from the reduced model from which the QTL was omitted expressed as percentage
