Table 2 Treatment means across RILs and for each parent for leaf gas-exchange, vegetative, and reproductive traits for genotypes of B. rapa within the well-watered (WW) and drought (DR) treatments. Standard errors are indicated in parentheses

From: Genotypic variation in biomass allocation in response to field drought has a greater affect on yield than gas exchange or phenology
