n refers to the size of the population (plantlets for complementation or segregation analyses, and seeds for green siliques analyses). For complementation crosses, χ2 is given for a ratio of 1:1 (wild type: mutant), and for segregation analyses, χ2 is given for a ratio of 3:1 (wild type:mutant). Ws, Wassilewskija.
