^†Two LOD support intervals. In cases of overlap of support intervals between adjacent QTLs, the two QTLs were merged into a single region spanning both. ^‡P(line) and/or P(Sex × line) < 0.001. ^§Significant after Bonferroni correction. ***P < 0.001; **0.001 <P < 0.01; *0.01 <P < 0.05; NS P > 0.05.
