Analyses were performed separately for constitutive total PSM (C), and for the inducibility of total PSM (MJ – C) after methyl-jasmonate induction. Significant correlations are highlighted in bold after adjustment for multiple testing correction using false discovery rate (FDR) for p ≤ 0.05 (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995). Data used for correlations were obtained from mixed models accounting for population structure and relative kinship among individuals. Genotypic sample size of each defensive state is indicated in brackets. Due to the fact that some clonal replicates (control or MJ-induced) were not available for several genotypes, data points in the inducibility dataset were slightly lower than the original number of genotypes used.
