Transcriptome analysis identifies genes related to the waxy coating on blueberry fruit in two northern-adapted rabbiteye breeding populations

Table 1 Segregation of the waxy coating on fruit in the two blueberry populations

Number of plants with a rating of:
Population	0	1	2	3	4	5	Segregation ratio^a
‘Nocturne’ x T 300	17	4	6	3	2	0	21:11^b
‘Nocturne’ x US 1212	15	5	6	1	7	2	20:16

Plants were given a score of 0–5 based on the amount of wax that was visually apparent on the fruit. Scores of 0 or 1 indicated no or little wax, scores of 2 or 3 indicated presence of a medium amount of wax, and scores of 4 or 5 indicated presence of a heavy waxy coating
^aSegregation ratio here is the number of plants with a score of 0–1: number of plants with a score of 2–5
^bOne plant in the ‘Nocturne’ x T 300 population could not be scored because it did not produce fruit
