amy, amyrins; Chr, chromosome; ehfa, epoxyhydroxy fatty acids; thfa, trihydroxy fatty acid, vlcfa, very-long-chain fatty acids.

^a The IL number is included for each QTL.

^b Genetic markers are described in Supplementary Table S1. The size of the interval in million bases (Mb) is provided.

^c Gene annotations were obtained from the SL2.40 tomato database (http://www.solgenomics.net/).

^d The phenotype observed for vlcfa3.4 was stronger in the non-overlapping interval of IL3.4. However, it was also observed for the overlapping regions IL3.3/IL3.4 (M57–M59) and IL3.4/IL3.5 (M61–M63).

^e The phenotype observed for ehfa8.3 was stronger in the non-overlapping interval of IL8.3. However, it was also observed for the overlapping regions IL8.2/IL8.3 (M137–M139) and IL8.3/IL8.3.1 (M141–M143).
