  1. *For lcyE 5′TE the vast majority of the inbred lines (> 70%) did not yield any amplification, and thus scored as  0’ alleles to represent no amplification, not deletion.
  2. **There were individuals that were heterozygous for some of the marker classes. Description of markers and expected alleles are presented in Table 2.
