QTL Mapping of Traits Associated with Dual Resistance to the African Stem Borer (Busseola fusca) and Spotted Stem Borer (Chilo partellus) in Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)

Table 8

Direct and indirect effects of C. partellus damage traits on total grain yield at Kiboko site.

Character	Correlation with		Indirect effect via
	Grain yield	Direct effect	DH	EH	LD	ST
DH	-0.97	68.11	—	-0.0006	-0.0061	0.0056
EH	-0.97	6.003	-0.0015	—	0.0055	0.0161
LD	-0.97	36.93	-0.0013	-0.0060	—	-0.0003
ST	-0.97	16.69	0.00149	0.0016	0.0065	—

indicates that data is significant at the ≤0.01 probability level; DH=deadheart damage; EH=number of exit holes; LD=leaf feeding damage; ST=stem tunneling damage.
