Table 1 Median metabolite level prediction (BLUP’s), range, genotypic variance component (σ2g) with associated standard error (SE), significance and progeny clone repeatability (Rc), for four PA traits measured in an association population of 693 perennial ryegrass plants (n = 5 clonal replicates)

From: Low pyrrolizidine alkaloid levels in perennial ryegrass is associated with the absence of a homospermidine synthase gene
