Competition (C) | 1,72 | F = 1.78 | 0.19 | 1,73 | F = 9.30 | 0.003 |
Plant sex (PS) | 1,72 | F = 10.77 | 0.0016 | 1,73 | F = 1.24 | 0.27 |
C×PS | 1,72 | F = 0.41 | 0.52 | 1,73 | F = 0.34 | 0.56 |
Analysis of both genotype effects (A) and plant sex effects (B) include greenhouse bench and aphid counter as random effects.
Tests for the effects of genotype and competition×genotype are made with log-likelihood ratio tests (based upon χ2) and genotype is nested within plant sex.
