Figure 2

Relationships between leaflet area (LA) and minor vein density (MVD) in peanut plants grown in three light conditions. Each symbol represents one leaflet, and relationships were significant for each light condition (full sun, MVD = 5.7 + 0.002 × LA, r 2 = 0.38***; 65% shade, MVD = 6.0 + 0.001 × LA, r 2 = 0.31**; 96% shade, MVD = 6.1 + 0.002 × LA, r 2 = 0.27**). The differences in linear regression slope and intercept between each pair of lines are indicated. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ns, P > 0.05.
