  1. Mean phenotypic values are shown for each experimental condition and genotype. The number in parentheses indicate standard deviation. Two-way ANOVA was conducted, followed by Tukey–Kramer post-hoc test
  2. Different alphabets indicate significant differences among groups at a = 0.05 significance threshold
  3. For the interaction of environment and genotype, significance is indicated by * and ***, referring to the P < 0.05, and 0.001, respectively
