  1. 1QTLs identified from residuals of the traits calculated from the regression to bolting are indicated as ‘resid.’
  2. 2Molecular marker nearest to the QTL.
  3. 3The range of 1-LOD support interval.
  4. 4Percent of the total phenotypic variation of the trait explained by the QTL.
  5. 5Parent contributing alleles that increase the trait value (Sal – cv. ‘Salinas’, PI – accessions PI 251246). Higher trait values mean earlier bolting, higher disease incidence or severity rating, stronger stems, and higher content of evaluated compounds.
