[i] Asterisks (*, **, and ***) indicate significantF values at the 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001 levels, respectively; (+) indicates a significant interaction based on LOD difference >2 between the two years or between the two irrigation regimes.

[ii] LOD score of the relevant data set is underlined.

[iii] “Relevant dataset” indicates the treatment for which quantitative parameters (% variance explained, additive [a], dominance [d], and mode of gene action) are shown. In cases for which the marker locus showed significant interaction (as defined in text) with treatments (years or irrigation regimes), the treatment with the highest LOD score was considered the relevant dataset, excluding the pooled dataset “All”, because it is rendered invalid by the interaction. In cases for which the marker locus showed no interaction with treatments, the treatment (including the pooled dataset “All”) with the highest LOD score was considered the relevant data set. In cases where both Y*M and I*M interactions were significant, the effect of a specific irrigation regime is presented as a relevant dataset.

[iv] Log transformation was used for QTL analyses of dry matter, seed cotton yield, and harvest index.

[v] Boll weight, boll number, canopy temperature, Chlorophyll a, and Chlorophyll b were assessed only in Year 2.
