Figure 5From: Selection and phenotypic characterization of a core collection of Brachypodium distachyon inbred linesNatural variation and environmental effects on plant height and stem density. (A) Maximum height of plants grown outside. (B) Average heights of plants grown in a growth chamber with staggered vernalization to synchronize flowering. ANOVA p-value = 1 x 10-17 for differences between groups. (C) Average stem density of plants grown outside. ANOVA p-value = 1 × 10-22. (D) Average stem density of plants grown in a growth chamber with staggered vernalization to synchronize flowering. ANOVA p-value = 1 × 10-4. Lines are arranged with Bd21-3 first, as a reference, and then from the smallest to largest height (A, B) or stem density (C, D). Bd30-1 became available after completion of the initial survey of lines grown outside (A, C, experiment 1) and was added for the later characterizations (B, D, experiment 4). Color-coding is indicated in the key and is the same for each line in all four panels. Error bars in B, C, and D indicate standard deviation.Back to article page
