Stress 1 and Stress 2 correspond to the two different experiments. qDTY_3.1 lines were screened in two different seasons whereas qDTY_1.1 and qDTY_12.1 lines were screened in only one season. qDTY_1.1 lines were screened in two different environments (stress 1 = field conditions and stress 2 = rainout shelter). qDTY_12.1 lines were screened on two different dates at the same location (stress 1 = first date and stress 2 = second date). Improved genotypes can be compared with their respective parents for each QTL (qDTY_3.1, qDTY_12.1 and qDTY_1.1). DTF: days; PHT: cm, GY: kg ha^–1. N: Swarna did not flower under a rainout shelter (severe stress).
