Summary of QTL for prolificacy in a set of Maize-Teosinte BC₂S₃ RILs.¹

1<p>The physical and genetic positions of the 1.5 LOD support intervals for each QTL are shown in addition to the physical and genetic size of the intervals.</p><p>LOD scores, additive effect (proportion of plants with secondary ears) and percent variance explained (PVE) as calculated by the fitqtl function in R/qtl, which performs a drop-one ANOVA, are reported. Physical positions are reported in Mbp along the chromosome for the maize reference genome (Maize Reference Genome AGP v2).
