Regrettably, an error was introduced in the last row of Table 3 of the above mentioned publication. The position of the QTL on LG XI (flanking markers CMAGN89 and ECM149) should have read 53.8–88.9 (instead of 16.6–39.7). The correct representation of Table 3 is published on the next page and should be treated as definitive by the reader:
