“…To compare the ShB-QTL identified in the present study with those detected in previous studies (Pan et al, 1999;Zou et al, 2000;Kunihiro et al, 2002;Sato et al, 2004;Pinson et al, 2005;Xie et al, 2008;Li et al, 1995Li et al, , 2009Sharma et al, 2009;Channamallikarjuna et al, 2010;Fu et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2011;Jia et al, 2012;Nelson et al, 2012;Eizenga et al, 2006Eizenga et al, , 2009Eizenga et al, , 2013Liu et al, 2009Liu et al, , 2013Zuo et al, 2013), a physical map was drawn based on the alignment of published markers in relation to the Nipponbare sequences in GenBank ( Figure 5). qSBD-1, which was detected in this study, was co-located (or located in similar positions) to qShB1 (Eizenga et al, 2013), qSBR1-1 (Fu et al, 2011), qSBR1-2 (Fu et al, 2011), qShB1 (Liu et al, 2009;Xu et al, 2011), and a QTL detected by Sharma et al (2009) (Figure 5).…”
