  1. 1 Total number of alleles and average diversity across loci (in parentheses) are calculated excluding the HVM20 locus, to allow direct comparisons with the Nepalese landraces and with the modern varieties.
  2. 2 Data from Table 1 of Russel et al. (2003).
  3. 3 Data from Table 2 of Pandey et al. (2006) for the Nepalese landraces, and from the graphical genotypes represented in Figure 2 of Macaulay et al. (2001) for the modern varieties. In both of these cases, genetic diversity is calculated as polymorphic information content (PIC), following Weber (1990).
