^aO. longistaminata tiller number.

^bChromosomal positions in kilobase of left bounds of the 95% confidence intervals. All chromosomal positions are based on the physical position of the closest marker in the NB reference genome.

^cChromosomal positions in kilobases, where the maximum LOD scores were detected for each QTL.

^dChromosomal positions in kilobases, of right bounds of the 95% confidence intervals.

^ePositive values indicate increases of the number of tillers in OL homozygotes, while negative values indicate decreases in OL homozygotes compared to NB.

^fPositive values indicate increased tiller number in heterozygotes compared with the averages of NB and OL homozygotes, while negative values indicates decreases in heterozygotes compared with the averages of NB and OL homozygotes.
