^aPhysical position and number of positional candidates were derived by anchoring of the genetic map to grape genome assembly 12X.v2
^bBoth number of original QTLs for the meta-QTL calculation as well as the number of independent populations from which the overlapping QTLs were found are given.
^cThe kind of overlapping veraison QTLs used for the analysis is indicated. Veraison QTLs are highlighted in bold. QTL short name abbreviations are as following: Vr Veraison, VT Veraison time, VP Veraison period, VB Veraison beginning, VE Veraison end. Further details about phenotypes scoring can be found in the Additional file 2, Additional file 19 or in the indicated original publications.
^dReference of the study in which the QTLs included in the meta-QTL analysis were found
