  1. Abbreviations: LG, linkage group; LOD, likelihood of odds; PVE, percentage variance explained; QTL, quantitative trait locus.
  2. For all suggestive and significant QTL detected, the LOD score, LG, marker name, marker position (cM) and PVE is shown. The mean±s.e.m. of the phenotype of F2 progeny for the different genotypic classes is also reported. (s) indicates a suggestive QTL.
