Table 1.

Variance analysis for several disease evaluation parameters in three RIL populations: proportion of dead plants at the end of the experiment, disease functional parameters, and AUDPC Significance levels are indicated for each factor. For LR3 population, only proportion of dead plants at the end of the experiment is available. [R] and [S] indicate resistant and susceptible parental lines, respectively. AUDPC, area under the disease progress curve; NS, not significant at α = 1%. Percentage of dead plants was tested by generalized linear model.
