QTLs associated by nonparametric mapping with root-galling index (GI) and nematode egg production (EGR) in TM-1 x Pima 3–79 RIL population.

aQTL - Root-galling index (GI) phenotype;
bQTL- Data for nematode egg production were transformed to Log10(x+1) for analysis (Log EGR);
cChr: Cotton chromosome designation;
dMi-GIh-C031: The name of first (1) identified QTL for GI on chr 3 from G. hirsutum (h) to root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Mi): Mi-EGRb-C23: The name of QTL for EGR on chr 23 from G. barbadense (b) to root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Mi);
eK*: Kruskal-Wallis analysis test regarded as the nonparametric equivalent of the one-way analysis of variance (Van Ooijen 2004);
fP-value: P-values are designated as P<0.05 (**), 0.01 (***), 0.005 (****), 0.001 (*****), 0.0005 (******);
gTM-1 allele: Mean value of phenotype associated with the TM-1 allele; Pima 3–79 allele, Mean value of phenotype associated with the Pima 3–79 allele.
