1-5 represent the effect of gene on cold survival based on the odd ratios reported in [17]: 1good survival; 2neutral survival; 3below average survival; 4poor survival, 5 data insufficient to determine the effect on survival; a-c allele frequency differences within columns that share no common alphabetic superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05), while those pair wise comparisons that are not different are represented with the same superscripts; "-" represents alleles or data not available
