Statistical significance of the <i>p</i> values and associations observed between markers and nut and kernel physical traits of almond.

For multiple testing of genotypes, Bonferroni correction [29] was applied. The p values for associations are considered when at least one allele is associated with the SSR. Abbreviations: W, width; T, thickness, L, length *p<0.00001 **p = 0.00001–0.0001 ***p = 0.0001–0.0012, (K-model) (a)Associations observed in the same regions where QTLs had previously been identified [3, 30] (b) Percentage of the phenotypic variation (r2) explained by each marker Statistical significance of the p values and associations observed between markers and nut and kernel physical traits of almond.
