  1. *Genotype/phenotype concordance calculated as ((number of virescens-phenotyped trees genotyped as either heterozygous or homozygous for events 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5)+(number of nigrescens phenotyped trees genotyped as wild type)) divided by the total number of trees sequenced.
  2. †Nigrescens fruit exocarp colour phenotype.
  3. ‡Virescens fruit exocarp colour phenotype.
  4. §Wild-type (nigrescens) genotype.
