Predicted protein

  1. The letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’, present in the column ‘lead SNP’, indicate that the locus was identified in an association study using GLM-no PCA, GLM-PCA and MLM models, respectively.
  2. *The association values resulting from resequencing 129 accessions. Among them, the P value of the association signals of flesh adhesion and flesh texture were selected from the results derived from the GLM-PCA model, since the GLM-PCA and MLM models presented the same result.
  3. †The P value of the associations resulting from the Sequenom MassARRAY analysis of 345 accessions.
