Notes: ^aA trait name in bold type indicates that major QTLs were detected for the corresponding trait, and a trait name in underlined type indicates that stable QTLs were detected for the corresponding traits. (+) indicates that the most favorable allele is derived from the parent P3228, (−) indicates that the most favorable allele is derived from the parent G8901
