| Trait | Branch no. | Biomass yield | Flowering time | Maturity time | Plant height | Pod no. | Seed no. | Seed weight | Total or mean |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No./proportion (%) of consensus QTL chosen as indicator QTL | 5/11.4 | 4/20.0 | 16/28.1 | 5/9.6 | 13/29.5 | 5/14.3 | 8/22.9 | 7/11.9 | 63/18.2 |
| Average distance between peak position of indicator QTL and seed yield QTL (cM) | 1.8 | 1.1 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.1 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.1 |
| Average proportion (%) of overlapped confidence interval between indicator QTL and seed yield QTL | 80.1 | 78.3 | 81.8 | 92.5 | 79.5 | 80.4 | 71.9 | 83.6 | 80.9 |
| Coincidence (+)/opposition (−) between additive-effect direction of indicator QTL and seed yield QTL | 4+/1− | 4+ | 4+/12− | 1+/4− | 12+/1− | 4+/1− | 8+ | 6+/1− | 43+/20− |
