Figure 3: Effect plot showing the interaction of the chronological age (X axis, in years), the DNA-(de)methylation status of the MS-AFLP band (presence absence, 1/0), and the almond cultivar according to the full model.

The trend lines in each box pair summarizes the triple-interaction of the chronological age (X axis, in years), the DNA-(de)methylation status of the MS-AFLP band (presence or absence, 1/0), with respect to the almond cultivar evaluated. The slope of the lines indicates the rate of change of DNA-(de)methylation status for each cultivar for each type of band (demethylated and methylated).
