Table S8 represents polymorphic markers between pairs of parents including some common polymorphic markers. Hence the total number represented in the table S8 is not additive and not matching with the numbers given in the text. 124 is the total polymorphic markers excluding repetition. 27 ILs were selected based on their agro-morphological similarity with recurrent parent ‘Krishna Hamsa’ and evaluated for background recovery. The list of 27 ILs has been included in the revised manuscript as suggested.
Correct it It was a pleasure to read this manuscript.
