Previously reported root-related QTLs within the regions of chromosomes 1 and 8 where the highest number of traits aligned in this study.

Gramene QTL ID: the Gramene database accession code; List hits: the number of 100kb blocks in the current introgression bin that intersect the Gramene QTL; List total: the total number of 100kb blocks in current QTL bin; Population hits: the total number of genome-wide 100kb introgression blocks for the current Gramene QTL category (out of a total of 3680 100kb introgression blocks for all Gramene QTLs; P value: probability based on a one-tailed Fisher's Exact Test; Reference: the publication in which the QTL was reported. Previously reported root-related QTLs within the regions of chromosomes 1 and 8 where the highest number of traits aligned in this study.
