  1. These markers were not included in the linkage mapping because the effect of extreme segregation on the construction of linkage maps was not clear. In addition, the current version of PROC QTL cannot handle markers with extreme segregation ratios. The chromosome bins of these markers were identified according to IBM2 2005 Neighbours frame (http://www.maizegdb.org/), which showed the relative positions of these markers along the genome. **denotes significance at a 0.01 level.
