J.Z., S.I., W.M. proposed the frost damage investigation. J.Z. visually
scored the frost damage, implemented the molecular work and field work,
analyzed the data and wrote the paper. B.B. supervised frost damage
phenotyping; W.M. and JEM. contributed to the substantial paper writing
and revisions. J.K. provided surveyed the parental lines and provided
Bethlehem and CSL seeds for DH population construction; K.C. designed
the field trials and statistically adjusted phenotype data; D.S., guided the group's perception about frost and helped interpreting the results; Z.A., M.A.,
R.Y., participated in the DH population construction; J.Z., Y.Z., H.L.,
M.D., S.A., N.R., R.M., constructed the genetic linkage map; J.Z., S.I.,
W.M., Y.Z., M.A., Z.A., M.S., R.Y., A.J., G.T., J.C., H.L., Y.J., S.Z.,
X.H., J.R., Y.Q., Q.L., Z.Y., S.B., M.D., S.A., N.R., R.M., A.U.S.,
S.R., N.S., S.A., C.F., N.H.,
B.B., and M.L. contributed to
the DH population seed bulk up and
field trial work (planting, monitoring, onsite phenotyping, harvesting)
and record the flowering data.
