  1. Abbreviatios: a, additive; d, dominant; LR, likelihood ratio; NA, not applicable; QTL, quantitative trait loci.
  2. aChromosome position in cM.
  3. bRegion flanking individual QTL peaks in which LOD scores decline by one LOD.
  4. cAbsolute value of dominance divided by additive (d/a) gene effect.
  5. dMode of gene action determined as the absolute value of d/a where additive=0.0–0.20, partial dominance=0.21–0.80, dominance=0.81–1.20 and overdominance=>1.20 (after Stuber et al., 1987; Babu et al., 2006).
