TABLE B1. Summary of hierarchical mixed-model ANOVA (proc MIXED in SAS) in growth and reproductive traits of Senecio vulgaris. Values represent F ratios for fixed effects (rust treatment, region) and chi-square values for random effects (population nested within region, family nested within population). Block effects were also fitted, but are not shown here.
