  1. Abbreviations: IF2, immortalized F2; Pos., position (the distance (cM) between the QTL and the first marker on the same chromosome); QTL, quantitative trait locus; RIL, recombinant inbred lines.
  2. am, ao, do, , , , , and are the maternal effect, embryo additive effect, embryo dominance effect of QTL and their interaction effects with the first and the second environment, respectively.
  3. ** And * indicate reaching significance at level of 0.01 and 0.05, respectively.
  4. aResult from the model with QTL effect and QTL-by-environment (QE) interaction effect.
  5. bResult from the model with exclusion of QE interaction effects.
