ae1, ae2, and ae3, QTL × environment interaction effect in 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively
NS non-significant, *, significant at P < 0.001
^aThe analysis was based on a mixed linear model (MLM) with 1,000 permutations
The mixed linear model (MLM) was used to calculate the estimated additive (a) and additive × environment interactions (ae)
