Table 1.

Plant height (h), stem diameter at the base (ϕ), mean leaf surface area (A_L) and total leaf surface area (ΣA_L) as measured in plants of Capsicum frutescens at three selected growth stages (GS1, GS2, GS3, see text)

	h (cm)	ϕ (cm)	A_L (cm²)	ΣA_L (cm²)
GS1	23·68 ± 2·45^a	0·31 ± 0·04^a	7·77 ± 2·45^a	155 ± 13^a
GS2	30·85 ± 3·87^b	0·46 ± 0·09^b	9·21 ± 2·02^b	295 ± 63^b
GS3	29·03 ± 3·04^b	0·52 ± 0·07^b	9·78 ± 2·51^b	306 ± 59^b

Means are given ± s.d. (n = 10 for h, ϕ and ΣA_L; n = 100 for A_L). Different letters indicate significant differences for Tukey's pairwise comparisons (P < 0·001).
