Figure 3

(A) The third leaf length of both cultivars in the elongating phase during 12-d emergence. The vertical bar is the standard error of mean leaf length (n = 40 replicates) at each given day of leaf emergence. (B) Changes of the third leaf length during the linear growth phase within the first 5 d of leaf emergence for ‘Bonsai’. (C) Changes of the third leaf length during the linear growth phase within the first 6 d of leaf emergence for ‘K-31’. The slope of the linear regression line represents leaf elongation rate (mm d−1) in (B) and (C). The function y = mx + b represents the linear relationship of leaf length (y) to days of leaf elongation (x) and the LER (m) was calculated by the equation m = [n∑(xy) − ∑x∑y]/[n∑(x2) − (∑x)2]. The R2 is the square of the correlation coefficient.
