The QTL identified on chromosome 7A using the Malacca × Hereward population.

Chromosome	LOD	%var	Mean	Add	Nearest. marker	Trait	Increasing allele
7A	4.2	15.4	3953	117.893	AX-95186225_7A	LoafV	H
7A	6.9	31.1	0.206	−0.062	AX-94459904_7A	CELLAL	M
7A	6.2	28.1	1.143	−0.038	AX-94459904_7A	NetCELLE	M

Abbreviations are: LOD = LOD score (log of the odds); %var, percentage of phenotypic variation explained; mean, mean value for this trait from whole population; add, additive effect (negative and positive values indicate that Malacca and Hereward respectively carry the increasing allele); nearest marker, nearest molecular marker locus to QTL peak; H, Hereward; M, Malacca. Traits: LoafV, loaf volume; CELLAL, Cell alignment; NetCELLE, Net Cell elongation
