^aThe model mean (u), and gene additive (a) and international (i) effects were estimated based on Eq. (2), and the subscripts 1 to 4 indicate the SD1-2, 7-1, 7-2. and 12 loci, respectively

^bA positive (negative) estimate indicates that substituting a dormancy-enhancing with a dormancy-reducing allele increased (decreased) the effect. Effects not significant (ns) are not listed
