  1. Blush = blush visually based on % coverage of red blush on skin using 0–5 scale (0 = 0% red coverage, 1 = 1–20%, 2 = 21–50%, 3 = 51–80%, 4 = 81–99%, 5 = 100%); SSC = soluble solids concentration in °Brix; TA = titratable acidity %
  2. CA11 = Fowler, California 2011, CA12 = Fowler, California 2012, TX12 = College Station, Texas 2012, TX13 = College Station, Texas 2013
  3. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) run length, phenotypic mean (μ), phenotypic variance (σ2P), residual variance(σ2e), additive variance(σ2A), narrow-sense heritability (h2), the linkage groups (LG) that QTLs were mapped on
  4. 2ln(BF). Bayes Factor, a measure quantifies the support from the data for the number of QTL(s) in the model (QTL evidence), after pair-wise model comparison (1/0, 2/1, and 3/2) such as ‘one-QTL model’ vs. ‘zero-QTL model, etc. 2ln(BF) < 0 = no evidence; 0–2 = hardly any; 2–5 = positive; 5–10 = strong; > 10 = decisive. Bayes Factor will not be available (na) if either model does not have enough samples in the Markov chain
