Table 9 QTL effects expressed as differences between marker genotype classes for specific traits

From: Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for fatty acid composition in an interspecific cross of oil palm

Trait	Marker	Genotype	Mean ± SE
IV	CB75A	aa	73.26 ± 0.45^a
		ab	69.59 ± 0.36^b
C16:0	CB75A	aa	27.01 ± 0.40^a
		ab	30.79 ± 0.39^b
C16:1	P4T8	aa	0.52 ± 0.02^a
		ab	0.34 ± 0.01^b
C18:0	P4T8	aa	1.91 ± 0.04^a
		ab	2.19 ± 0.05^b
C18:1	CB75A	aa	55.15 ± 0.92^a
		ab	52.50 ± 0.41^b

Means of the genotypes "aa" and "ab" were compared using the independent t test via the SPSS statistical package. The means of the different genotypes for the markers associated with each trait were found to be significantly different
aa: band absent
ab: band present
