  1. a Species in which the compound is more abundant.
  2. b Significance level (likelihood ratio) at P=0.05 for each compound is derived from 1000 permutations of the dataset and composite interval mapping (Figure 3).
  3. c The number of significant background markers used in composite interval mapping. All the significant markers derived from interval mapping were used.
