  1. Traits indicate Chl1, Chl2, Chl3 chlorophyll contents at (vegetative, anthesis, and maturity) stages, PH plant height (cm), AD days to anthesis, MC1% stover moisture content, MC2% head moisture content, BY biomass yield (t. ha−1), GY grain yield (t. ha−1), TGW thousand grain weight (g), GS grain/stover ratio (%). QTL name indicates q for QTL followed by trait name to which the QTL was detected and by the chromosome number on which it was detected. Environments: 11NN, 12NN indicate that QTLs detected in normal N treatments in 2011 and 2012 years respectively; 11LN, 12LN indicate QTLs detected in low N treatments in 2011 and 2012 years respectively; Comb-NN, Comb-LN indicates QTLs detected on trait values averaged over two years (2011 and 2012) in normal N and low N treatments respectively. Chr, chromosome on which QTL was detected. a2.0-LOD drop support interval of the QTL; bAdditive effect: positive values of the additive effect indicate that alleles from CK60 were in the direction of increasing the trait score and vice versa; cPercentage of phenotypic variation explained by the QTL. If more than one QTL were detected on the same chromosome for a trait, QTLs identified were serially numbered. QTLs highlighted in bold are the validated QTLs, which were also detected in earlier study reported by Gelli et al. [46]
