Extended Data Fig. 3: Tannin presence and plant height contribute to sparrow feeding preferences.
From: Allelochemicals targeted to balance competing selections in African agroecosystems
a, Overall relationships among three traits scored from the Tx430 × P898012 RIL population. Each dot represents a RIL. Bird damage score is used to colour code each data point. b, Distribution of bird damage score based on RILs with (n = 67) or without (n = 167) condensed tannins in grain. Boxplots contain the extreme of the lower whisker, the lower hinge, the median, the upper hinge, and the extreme of the upper whisker for each category. c, For RILs without condensed tannins (n = 167), plant height was positively correlated (Pearson’s correlation) with sparrow feeding preference. d, For RILs with condensed tannins (n = 67), plant height has less effect on sparrow feeding preference. e, QTL mapping for bird damage (n = 237). f, QTL mapping for plant height (n = 237).
