a

Coefficients for the components of digenic epistasis: A × A, additive by additive; A × D, additive by dominance; D × D, dominance by dominance; within each column, coefficients followed by the same letter do not differ by Wald χ2 (Fox et al. 2004); significant differences: M vs. N, P < 0.05; A vs. B and X vs. Y vs. Z, P < 0.001.

b

t-test for significant effect of the components of digenic epistasis: NSP = 0.089, ***P < 0.001.
