FIGURE 5.

Selection for Early Flowering Alters the Force‐Deflection Slope, but not the Number of Brace Roots in the Soil or the Contribution of Brace Roots to Anchorage. (a) There is no effect of flowering time selection on the number of brace root whorls in the soil. (b) The contribution of brace roots to the Force‐Deflection slope is not affected through selection. (c) Selection for early flowering in the Tusón population has a significant effect on the Force‐Deflection slope (p = 7.44E⁻⁰⁶). WR = whorl
