Table 1.
Analysis of variance of chronological longevity through log viability as a function of age (in days), conidial size, and strain. The dependent variable is log viability as measured from an automated cell counter (Nexcelom, Inc.). Strains (bd, WT, FGSC bd, lag-1, lag-1, bd, and bd,ccg-2p:luc, (Gooch et al. 2008)) were compared over 9 days.

The sums of squares (SS), degrees of freedom (df), estimated mean square (E.M.S.), F-ratio (F), and P-value (P) are reported. Their calculation is described (Draper and Smith 1981).
