Figure 9. TPS10 plants produce similar numbers of buds, flowers and seed capsules as WT when grown alone or in competition, and do not affect their neighbors’ reproduction differently than WT competitors (mean ± SEM, n = 10).

Plants of all lines produced more buds, flowers (A-B), and ripe and unripe seed capsules (C-D) when grown individually (left panels) versus in competition (right panels), but reproductive measures differed little between either of two independent lines of TPS10 and WT; within competing pairs, none of these parameters was affected by neighbor identity (see statistical analyses in Table S6). a,bDifferent letters indicate significant differences (corrected P < 0.05) in Tukey’s HSD tests between lines, conducted following a significant effect of line (corrected P < 0.05) in an ANOVA minimal model; ns, not significant. The Holm-Bonferroni method was used to correct for 2-4 tests of each data set (effect of line within individuals or competing pairs, effect of neighbor within competing pairs, effect of competition, and post-hoc pairwise tests).
