Table 1 QTL for maximum potential quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) in landrace Kemater. The genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using approximately 500,000 SNPs and adjusted entry means of Fv/Fm in growth stages V4 and V6. Genomic positions are provided in B73v5 coordinates, and the number of genes within each QTL region is indicated. Effect SD: Absolute effect size from GEMMA output standardized by the standard deviation of the respective trait. GVE: Genetic variance explained by the respective QTL. Total GVE: Genetic variance explained by a model fitting all detected QTL in a growth stage simultaneously.

From: Native alleles at lhcb6 shape photosynthetic efficiency and early growth in maize
