Table 1 Sample number (n), overall trait means (µ) and standard deviation (σ) for the population individuals used in QTL mapping of Fe concentration and bioavailability. The observed means (Fe concentration) or best linear unbiased predictions (bioavailability) are shown for each of the MAGIC founder lines. For each year, the average standard error of differences between lines was calculated for bioavailability during the model fitting stage (average SED)
