^a ‘R’ represents isolines with the allele from the resistant parent ‘AWC079’ and ‘S’ isolines with an alternative allele from the susceptible parents
^b The mean of disease index (DI value) observed from four trials for each isoline
^c ‘SE’ represents standard error
^d Differences between DI values of ‘R’ and ‘S’ isolines
^e ‘P value’ was generated with the student’s t test
