Large phenotype comparisons between Br2 and br2 RILs with similar genetic background in maize. a Radar plots of plant architecture traits including plant height (PH), ear height (EH), plant height without tassel (PHWT), the relative ear height (REH, ear height/plant height), tassel length (TL), leaf number (LN), leaf length (LL), leaf angle (LA) and stalk diameter (SD) from 4 F4 families (105, 114, 162 and 17). b Radar plots of ear traits including husk leaf number (HLN), tassel primary branch number (TPB), ear shank length (ESL), ear row number (ERN), ear length (EL), ear diameter (ED) and kernel number per row (KNR) from the four families. Student’s t-test was performed for each trait between the Br2 and br2 lines (n > 25); red and orange stars indicate highly significant (P < 0.01) and significant (P < 0.05) signals, respectively. The blue numbers on the spider web represent the maximum values of traits (Color figure online)
