Table II. Summary of significant loci identified by GWAS analysis using two approaches (CMLM and MLMM) for 33 traits across five categories (A–E) in control (C) and water-deficit (WD) conditions and for phenotypic plasticity (PP) of traits as a relative measure.

Values in parentheses are loci associated with more than one trait (Supplemental Table S6), and values in square brackets are percentages of loci out of total loci detected by both CMLM and MLMM approaches. The total a priori genes are predicted in the expected LD block of peak SNP/SNPs.
