Fig. 1.

Quantitative (bottom) and schematic (top) representation of current population mean values (A) for 16 phenotypic traits (Table 1) and outcomes from genomic index selection scenarios S1 (increase biomass yield by 20 % and delay flowering by 44 d; B) and S2 (increase biomass yield by 20 %, while also increasing cellulose content by 5 % and reducing lignin content by 5 %; C). The orange line in all radar charts is set to 0 and corresponds to the baseline (i.e. current population mean values; Table 2). The green lines in (B) and (C) correspond to the relative changes (%) for the 16 traits (Table 2).
