Table II. Spearman rank's correlation analyses between plant size (estimated as rosette diameter) and all measured parameters in the long-lived monocarpic plant, S. longifolia.
All data from juvenile plants, including the three populations, was pooled for analyses, but also analyzed separately. rho and P values are indicated in bold when correlations were significant (Bonferroni adjusted, P < 0.0033). RWC, relative water content; LMA, leaf mass per area ratio; Chl, chlorophyll. LOOH, lipid hydroperoxides; Ant, anthocyanins; Car, carotenoids; α-Toc, α-tocopherol; ABA, abscisic acid; SA, salicylic acid; OPDA, oxo-phytodienoic acid; JA, jasmonic acid.
