  1. * P values represent the significance of the comparison among genotypes. P values without subscript were calculated assuming additive models. P values with subscripts (a) and (b) were calculated assuming recessive and dominant models, respectively. P values significant after permutations tests to correct for multiple comparisons are highlighted in bold case
