^aA single gene could be detected by no less than one primer set, and the correspondence among fragments detected by these three primer sets was established by their theoretical sizes. LMW-GS genes and allelic variants were named in accordance with the sizes of their corresponding fragments amplified by the LMWGS1 primer set practically or theoretically, and the major allelic variant was designated as the gene whereas the remainders as its allelic variants [17].
^bThree primer sets of the LMW-GS gene molecular marker system [13].
^cNot amplified by the specific primer sets.
