2 Supplementary Method 1 The mixed model used for analyzing data from each metabolite Based on the measurements collected for each metabolite in the current study, BLUPs for each inbred line across three locations can be obtained for each metabolite using the following model Y G L, (1) ij i j ij where Y ij is the metabolic data of line i (i = 1,,.., n) in location j (j = 1,, 3); μ is the overall mean; G i is the genetic value of genotype i; L j is the effect of location j; and ε ij is a model residual following a normal distribution N(0, σ e ). It is assumed that G i, and L j are random effects following the normal distribution with zero means and variances σ G and σ L respectively. The estimates of these variance components along with the residual variance σ e were obtained from a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) analysis. Given REML estimates of the variances, phenotypic BLUPs for each inbred line were predicted by solving the Henderson mixed model equation (Henderson 1984). Broad sense heritability is defined as the proportion of the phenotypic variance of all the individuals in a population due to genetic effects (Falconer and Mackay 1996). Given the estimates of the variance components from model (1), the broad sense heritability on the line mean basis, H, may be estimated based on the data set for each metabolite (Holland et al. 003) by G H, () e G r where r is the number of locations used for testing the metabolite - -
