Comparison of leaf phenotypes and chlorophyll contents between LY and HY trees.
| Plant ID | Chlorophyll (absorbance) | Leaf area (cm2) | Leaf thickness (mm) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LY | HY | LY | HY | LY | HY | |
| 1 | 68.8 | 70.1 | 40.2 | 47.7 | 0.54 | 0.60 |
| 2 | 70.3 | 69.3 | 41.3 | 48.0 | 0.59 | 0.60 |
| 3 | 71.3 | 72.2 | 36.2 | 38.4 | 0.59 | 0.58 |
| Mean | 70.2 | 70.5 | 39.2 | 44.7 | 0.60 | 0.60 |
| S.E. | 0.7 | 0.8 | 1.6 | 3.2 | 0.02 | 0.01 |
| Significance | Not | Not | Not | |||
Data for each individual plant was measured from at least 10 leaf samples. The chlorophyll content was measured using the chlorophyll meter SPAD-502Plus (Konica Minolta Optics, Inc.). S.E. represents the standard error. The T-test statistical analysis was used to test the significance (*) of the differences at p < 0.05.
