CN, DBH, and BS denote cone number, diameter, and branch score, respectively. Numbers in parentheses are standard deviations.
↵a Numbers of individual trees are 3, 1, and 113 in the three subpopulations.
↵b Select cone QTL at [2, 6, 0], [5, 10, 0], [10, 5, 7], and [10, 9, 0].
↵c Numbers of individuals are 2, 3, and 129 in the three populations.
↵d Select diameter QTL at [1, 4, 0], [2, 2, 0], [5, 5, 0], [10, 5, 9], and [12, 5, 9].
↵e Numbers of individuals are 1, 5, and 128 in the three populations.
↵f Select branch score QTL at [11, 4, 21], [11, 6, 0], and [12, 5, 0].
↵g Assume that the QTL at [1, 3, 61] and [1, 4, 0] have coupling phase.
