  1. Mean values within rows followed by the same letter are not significantly different at 0.05 level of probability (Duncan’s multiple range test).
  2. Association between the gamma-TMT-F1/F2/R24 locus on LG 8 and gamma-tocopherol content (% of the total tocopherols) determined by variance analysis in the nmsT2100 x IAST-1 population. Mean gamma-tocopherol ± standard deviation (SD) are presented in different genotypic classes: A = homozygous with respect to the allele derived from IAST-1, B = homozygous with respect to the allele derived from nmsT2100, H = heterozygous.
