Studies used for the analysis on pyrrolizidine alkaloids alone are indicated with ^. In the P; R column the number of populations are given followed by the number of replicates. In the Area column, the region of origin is indicated where EU stands for Europe, AF for Africa, NA for North America, ME for Mexico, AU for Australia, NZ for New Zealand, CH for China, IN for India, SW for Sweden and ICE for Iceland. In the Conc. column the concentration of defence compounds are indicated. Significance levels are indicated in the column Sig. with n.s. for not significant, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001
