Additional file 5: of Genome-wide association mapping of partial resistance to Aphanomyces euteiches in pea

Frequency distribution of least square means obtained for Aphanomyces resistance, earliness and plant height in the pea-Aphanomyces collection. Least square means were obtained from analysis of variance for three Aphanomyces resistance traits (Root Rot Index, first and second Aerial Decline Indexes, coded RRI, ADI1 and ADI2, respectively), three earliness traits (dates to 50 % bloom, 100 % bloom and 100 % dried plants, coded FLO1, FLO2 and RIPE, respectively) and plant height (HT). Aphanomyces resistance traits were assessed over nine infested field environments and against two reference strains of A. euteiches (RB84 and Ae109) in controlled conditions. Earliness and height were assessed in two healthy environments. n: total number of pea lines assessed; m: mean ± standard deviation of the pea-Aphanomyces collection; h2: mean-based heritability.
