| The RI lines were binned into genotypic pools to isolate the effects of the major QTL on chromosome 5 while holding the minor QTL constant. |
| Four of the eight QTL for reduced homozygous seed set are colocated with QTL associated with reduced male fertility. |
| The present statistic assesses this association between QTL and trait sets for the whole data set. |
| However, for an interval this short, the position of a detected QTL rarely coincided with the true position. |
| The two leftmost parts show the main effects of QTL on chromosomes 4 and 11 and the rightmost part shows their joint effect. |
| Most of the earlier reported QTL were found in crosses within North American germ plasm, while we used only European material. |
