Notes: The effects included in the model and the degrees of freedom vary among plant traits depending on how data was collected (i.e., before or after transplanting, and whether data was from all plants or a subset of plants). We used F tests and Chi-squared tests to determine the statistical significance of fixed and random effects, respectively. We used a Chi-squared test of independence to determine the effect of plant genotype on bolting frequency and mortality of Spodoptera exigua. Dashes indicate undefined P values where the variance component was equal to 0.
