Overview of significant QTLs associated with seed and seedling traits of S. lycopersicum and S. pimpinellifolium tomato RIL population.

1FrRt = Fresh Root weight, DrRt = Dry root weight, FrSh = Fresh shoot weight, DrSh = Dry Shoot weight, HypL = Hypocotyl length, SW = Dry Seed weight. SS = Dry seed size, SL = Dry seed length, SC = Dry Seed circularity, ImbSS = Imbibed seed size, ImbSL = Imbibed seed length, FrShwn = Fresh Shoot weight under nutrientless condition, FrRtwn = Fresh Root weight under nutrientless condition, DrShwn = Dry shoot weight under nutrientless condition, DrRtwn = Dry root weight under nutrientless condition, MRL = Main Root Length, TRS = Total root size, LRn = Lateral root number per main root, LRD/Bz = Lateral roots density per branched zone.2Chromosome on which the QTLs were detected.3Nearest marker to the position of the identified QTLs.4A positive sign means that the allele of S. pimpinellifolium contributed to the increase of particular trait while the negative sign means that the allele of S. lycopersicum increased the trait at this particular locus.
