Results from regression analysis (R² values) for the panel of 21 spring wheat genotypes evaluated for leaf rust response in the adult plant integrated experiment versus the field

Leaf number	Number of observations (n)	Days after sowing (DAS)
		70	77	86	96
Flag	15	0.55	0.43	0.51	0.57
Flag-1	19	0.76	0.63	0.71	0.73
Flag-2	19	0.76	0.60	0.74	0.77

Regression analysis was performed for the disease response displayed by each leaf under accelerated growth conditions (i.e. Flag, Flag-1 and Flag-2) in comparison to the field response observed for each of the four assessment dates (i.e. 70, 77, 86 and 96 days after sowing, DAS)
