Figure 5.

Test of the combined QTL and ecophysiological model of LER, either on the same RILs as in the QTL analysis (A and B) or on 13 lines that were not taken into account in the QTL analysis (C). A and B, Measured values plotted against predicted values using Equation 1. Parameters of Equation 1 were determined either by individual regression for each RIL as in Figure 1A or by using the QTL models of Table II (B). C, Measured values originating from growth chamber experiments (11 RILs and two PLs) or a greenhouse experiment with water deficit (two PLs). C, Each symbol represents an RIL or a PL.
