Fig. 5: Average values for six fruit size and shape attributes measured across three seasons of trialing for each of three backgrounds and presented according to the genotype at the globe locus (F/F, homozygous flat; F/G, heterozygous; G/G, homozygous globe).

The bars represent the standard error of the mean. Within each background, different letters represent significantly different means (Tukey HSD test, alpha = 0.05, based on a 4-replicate RCBD, trialed three seasons [N = 12]). The response value of each experimental unit comes from: the average fruit weight from four or five harvests each season [yield/total fruit per plot] (weight), or average values of 24 fruits per experimental unit from second to fourth harvest (fruit shape attributes)
