QTL detected for grain starch content in the two RIL populations under each environment and in combined analysis.

a<p>Values in the brackets were the intervals between QTL and its flanking markers.</p>b<p>Bin locations of the flanking markers from Maize GDB (<a href="http://www.maizegdb.org" target="_blank">http://www.maizegdb.org</a>).</p>c<p>Genetic map position by cM.</p>d<p>A means additive effects estimated with QTL Cartographer.</p>e<p>R² means percent of phenotypic variance explained by each QTL.
