Heritability estimates and significance were assessed for each concentration adjusting for baseline. The trait BF% is representative of a positive control of the statistical test for an estimation of heritability.

aLA measures are square root transformed.

bNarrow-sense heritability estimates (percentage) shown with the standard error of estimate in parentheses.

cCovariates are shown with the proportion of variance due to that factor in parentheses.

d P-value represented as a test of the null hypothesis (H0: h2 = 0).

*Significant at α < 0.05.
