Impact of five methylation patterns on agronomic traits in seedlings and buds.

The loci in association with heterosis detected by using single marker analysis were used for stepwise regression analysis of methylation patterns against heterosis at the default 0.150 level. The numbers to the left and right of each slash represent the regression coefficient and coefficient of determination, respectively.*,**,***: p = 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001, respectively.
