1L, left arm of chromosome 1; 2R, right arm of chromosome 2; 5R, right arm of chromosome 5; AvgT_f, average telomere length at the end of the experiment; AvgT_f – AvgT₀, average change in telomere length over time; AvgT₀, average telomere length at the start of the experiment; Prop. telo. change, proportion of change in telomere length after treatment relative to initial telomere length; T_f, telomere length at the end of the experiment; T_f_T₀, change in telomere length over time; T₀, telomere length at the start of the experiment.

Model: trait = genotype + treatment + (genotype × treatment). Genotypes: Col-0; ku70; nop2a; tad3-2; tert. Numbers represent F-values with degrees of freedom in parentheses.
