Competing Interests
I have read the journal’s policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: This project received funding support from the National Science Foundation grant #2147832. Higgins and Wells also received funding support from USDA ARS grant #6010-32000-028-000-D and the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (#2023-68012-38994) and the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station Hatch Project ALA0HIGGINS. However, none of these funding agencies were involved in the study design, execution, analysis of data, or in the preparation of the manuscript. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
