F-values for the fixed effect of CT (df=2,24), and likelihood ratio statistics for the random effects of population (df=1) and CT-by-population (df=3). Block was included in the models but not shown here. Other random effects not shown were maternal genotype within population, the maternal genotype-by-cross type interaction, cross identity within maternal genotype and population, and, where applicable, tub/plant within cross identity, maternal genotype and population. Significance is indicated: *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
