MD%, mean difference percentage; VD%, variance difference percentage; CR%, coincidence rate; VR%, variable rate. aCoverages were computed according to quantitative traits, qualitative traits, and combined traits. bThe core collection is considered to be representative of the entire collection if (1) MD% is small and percentage of significant mean difference (α = 0.05) between the core collection and the entire collection in all 29 phenotypic traits is no more than 20%, and (2) the CR% is greater than 80%.
