are designated following the rules recommended by McCouch and CGSNL [31].
the QTL effects were significant at the level of . In the RIL, the effect refers to the additive effect of replacing a Teqing allele with an IR24 allele. In the testcross, the effect refers to the increase of genetic effect when a Zhong 9A/Teqing heterozygote is replaced with a Zhong 9A/IR24 heterozygote. In , the effect refers to the increase of dominance effect when a Zhong 9A/Teqing heterozygote is replaced with a Zhong 9A/IR24 heterozygote.
