“Linkage group” refers to the map in Figure 3. PVE is the percent of F2 phenotypic variance explained, as calculated by interval mapping in MAPMAKER/QTL. The most likely mode of action of each QTL is shown with reference to the M. cardinalis allele. If the M. cardinalis allele is recessive to the M. lewisii allele, an “R” is found in the “Mode of action” column. “D” and “A” stand for “dominant” and “additive,” respectively. Uppercase letters are used when the statistical support for the most likely model is LOD >1 higher than any of the alternative modes.
↵a The QTL is in repulsion linkage phase with the RAPD markers (see text). The phenotypic mean and standard deviation are shown for the parental M. lewisii and M. cardinalis. The Δσ column shows the standardized difference (in units of standard deviation) between parental mean phenotypes. The phenotypic means of F2 plants homozygous for the M. lewisii (LL) or M. cardinalis (CC) allele at the QTL are given. The number of F2 plants homozygous for the RAPD marker nearest the QTL is shown to indicate the severity of segregation distortion near the QTL. Approximately 116 homozygotes are expected if the locus is segregating in the Mendelian 3:1 ratio.
