  1. SL: Ledol plus unidentified oxygenated sesquiterpene compound (probably a precursor of ledol). Random factor: maternal family. X2 and p-values correspond to comparisons between models, the full model (with both fixed factors and their interaction) and the model without the fixed factor of interest. N = 60 plants.
