Genomic location of the qLG4 locus and its effect on the intensity of green color and the relative chlorophyll content.
| Trait | No. of RILsc | LG | Markerd | QTL location (cM)e | Support interval (cM)f | LOD | R2%g |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colora | 90 | 4 | Lsat_1_v3_g_0_8627 | 51.3 | 49.3–53.0 | 21.1 | 67.6 |

aVisual evaluation of green color on adult plants in field. bRelative chlorophyll content measured on cotyledons of seedlings grown in plastic boxes. c90 RILs from the S88 × LB population were visually evaluated for the leaf color, but only a subset of 56 RILs was evaluated for RCC. dMolecular marker nearest to the QTL. eLocation of the QTL on the molecular linkage map. fThe range of 1-LOD support interval. gPercent of the total phenotypic variation of the trait explained by the QTL. The allele for light green color and low RCC originates from cv. La Brillante.
