QTL characteristics and candidate genes mapping to the interval.

A: Additive effect of the QTL i.e. the contribution of one accession allele to the phenotypic variation. Values are shown with respect to the non-Col allele.D: Dominance effect of the QTL i.e. the deviation of the heterozygote phenotype from that expected based on the additive effect. Values are shown with respect to the non-Col allele.R2: Phenotypic variation explained by the QTL.ns not significant.Bold numbers are flowering time based on leaf number, rest are flowering time based on days to flowering measured when the inflorescence reached 3 cmShoulder on chromosome 4 QTL in Edi-0 population is associated with a high number of apparent double recombinants in the region – no clear candidate maps to this interval.
