Table II. List of associated metabolites ranked after RF and significance permutation tests.
The first column shows the putative annotation of the representative mass. The second column shows whether a colocalizing mQTL with starch phosphorylation was detected. The values in the remaining columns indicate ranking order after RF analysis. Compounds with two numbers represent the same compound with different trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups (derivatization groups).
