Table 2.
On gallic acid media, among-line variance accounts for higher percentages of total growth variance in mycelia grown from spores than in mycelia grown from rhizomorphs.
| Source | Genet | Number of experimental plates | Growth variance accounted for by among-line variance (%) | Residual term (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spores | Raynham | 392a | 96 | 4 |
| Spores | Bridgewater | 396a | 94 | 6 |
| Rhizomorphs | Raynham | 375a | 77 | 23 |
| Rhizomorphs | Bridgewater | 398a | 85 | 15 |
aTotals are lower than 400 as described in “Methods” section because 39 plates were contaminated (Supplementary methods).
