     The 'traits' dataset contains measured abundance of 18
     glucosinates and 6 flavonols for 162 Arabidopsis thaliana
     individuals. The 'traits2' dataset contains abundance of 20
     unidentified  mass peaks (mass peak numbers) for 162 Arabidopsis
     thaliana individuals. Example matrice of phenotypes for each trait
     (rownames) and sample/individual  (columnnames), as numeric or NA
     when missing:
