Fig. 7: The pace of tassel formation in seven field and indoor environments.

Percentage of plants of the maize population with tassel present plotted as a best fit logistic growth curve (for fit to data, see Supplementary Fig. 16) of the maize population in each environment versus days after sowing (DAS). The first derivative of the fitted curve represents change in the percent of the plants with tassel occurrence per DAS for each environment. Colors used: field 2016 as Sky Blue (#66CCEE), field 2017 as Forest Green (#228833), field 2018 as Silver (#BBBBBB), field 2019 as San Marino (#4477AA), glasshouse as Turmeric (#CCBB44), PhenoSphere avg as Froly (#EE6677), and PhenoSphere 2016 sim as Royal Heath (#AA3377).
