  1. an represents the number of plants in each genotypic category.
  2. bNumbers in parentheses represent the minimum–maximum capsaicinoid levels in parts per million (p.p.m.) for the genotypic category.
  3. cValues below the detection limit of the assay (1 p.p.m.) were designated non-detectable (ND).
