Fig. 2From: Identifying yield-related genes in maize based on ear trait plasticityCharacteristics of 717 genes involved in maize ear phenotype and phenotypic plasticity. A Numbers of genes studied in 2018 and 2019. B Correlation matrix plot of ear phenotypes of transgenic inbred lines planted in 2018 (data for 2019 are in Additional file 1: Fig. S5). C Distribution of genetic values and linear plasticity of phenotypes in 2018 (data for 2019 are in Additional file 1: Fig. S8). Dotted line indicates the wild-type phenotype. D Quartile coefficients of dispersion for linear and nonlinear plasticity of phenotypes in 2018 and 2019Back to article page
