*Observed ratio differed from expected ratio at p<0.05. m: mutant phenotype. wt: wild-type phenotype. The control, Tainung 67 wild-type, had an average of 5.02 ± 0.02 veins mm−1 and a maximum of 6 veins mm−1. Vein densities of 6.5 veins mm−1 were considered to be a mutant phenotype. The Tainung 67 wild-type had two out of eighty-eight plants with <7 mm leaf width, one plant with <6 mm leaf width, and no plants with <5 mm leaf width (and an average leaf width of 9.53 ± 0.08 mm). Leaf widths of 6 mm or less were considered to be a mutant phenotype.
