Novel genomic approaches unravel genetic architecture of complex traits in apple

BMC Genomics

Table 1 Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the largest effects (i.e. highest $R_{LR}^{2}$ value) on various traits; FF: fruit firmness; WCI: weighted cortical intensity; IB: internal browning; TA: titratable acidity; CR: fruit splitting; BP: bitter pit
