On SSC2 highly significant QTL for meatiness (FOM, MA ML ) were detected in the proximal region in marker interval SW2443-FTH1 by half-sib analysis (Table 6 ); according to line-cross model a QTL for mean fibre diameter (Dia mean ) mapped to the intermediate region of SSC2 (SW240-STS2) that explained a considerable high proportion of phenotypic variation (Table 3 ); distal of these are QTL with genome-wide significance and strong effects on proportion of slow twitch fibres and their capillarisation (Pro STO and Cap STO ) (C3-SW1564, half-sib model, Table 4 ).
