Table IV. Ear parameters of maize UBI1:ZmARGOS8 transgenic events and the bulk null in two hybrids.
Data are presented at the construct level compared with the bulk null in two hybrids at a low-drought-stress location in 2013. All analyses were implemented using ASReml with output of the model presented as best linear unbiased predictions (see “Materials and Methods”). Asterisks indicate predicted differences significant at P < 0.05.
