Table S3. Detailed information of the conserved GWAS sites over the two years (2014 and 2015). QTL_1 to QTL_29: conserved QTLs for the same trait(s) over the two years; QTL_30 to QTL_50: conserved QTL regions but for different traits between the two years; FP: full panel; SBN: secondary branch number; PBN: primary branch number; SpN: spikelet number; SBintL: secondary branch internode length; PBintL: primary branch internode length; PBL: primary branch length; SBL: secondary branch length; RL: Rachis length; PH: plant height; TN: tiller number; eTN: efficient tiller number. Locus-id: locus identification number in MSU7.0 (for coding genes) and mirBase v21 (for miRNAs); (*) Functionally characterized candidate genes in rice from OGRO and funRiceGenes databases ( qtaro.abr.affrc.go.jp /ogro; funricegenes.ncpgr.cn ). Genomic coordinates in red indicate genes that are located at a distance below 50Â kb from the LD block of the corresponding QTL. (XLS 108 kb)
