| Age class | Factors | df | F value | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leaves 1–3 | Treatment | 3 | 7.871 | 0.004 |
| Induction type | 1 | 0.230 | n.s. | |
| Date | 4 | 5.314 | 0.033 | |
| Leaves 4 and 5 | Treatment | 3 | 6.367 | 0.008 |
| Induction type | 1 | 3.004 | n.s. | |
| Date | 4 | 3.232 | n.s. | |
| Induction type × date | 4 | 3.847 | 0.030 |
ANOVA was conducted separately for the two leaf age classes on the effects of treatment and type of induction (fixed factors) and date (random factors) of EFN secretion. Of the possible interactions among factors, only significant ones are displayed.
