^aTrait is the name of the component of plant architecture: PH plant height, EH ear height, IN internode number
^bThe name of each QTL is a composite of the influenced trait: PH, EH, IN
^cThe effect of each QTL in a specific environment: E1 is 2013 Shunyi; E2 is 2013 Gongzhuling; and E3 2014 is Gongzhuling
^dChr., chromosome
^eFlanking markers, the markers to the left and right of the QTL
^fInterval, confidence interval between two bin markers
^gPhysical length, interval between the two markers on the B73 genome
^hLOD, the logarithm of odds score
ⁱPVE, the phenotypic variance explained by individual QTL
^jADD, the additive effect value. The LOD scores, PVE values, and ADD values are shown as mean values for QTL with multiple effects
