Reproductive organ size and shape index of fs8.1 NILs
The two values per organ represent two biological replicates. The upper value was obtained from family 13S140, and lower value was obtained from the 13S117/118 families. N indicates the number of plants per genotype. NA, not analysed; NS, not significant. Shape index is the ratio of ‘maximal length’ to ‘maximal width’.
