Table 3 Significant QTLs (α = 0.05) detected for seedling (HHBJ, HPLB, MCCF, QFCQC, and TRTTF) and adult-plant (Kenya 2014 and Kenya 2015) trials. Positions described are for 95% confidence intervals as estimated via the 2-LOD drop method [53]. LOD scores for each QTL are listed with the generalized R2 values in parenthesis
