Figure 5. Individual grain weight as a function of time expressed as days after flowering (DAF) for resistant (R) and susceptible (S) isohybrids under V. dahliae natural infections. Differences were statistically significant after 20 DAF (SE = 0.74, 1.26, 2.31, 1.74, and 2.00 mg at 14, 21, 29, 37, and 45 DAF, respectively). Data for isohybrid 2A. Grainfilling rate estimated from 14 to 29 DAF was 1.41 and 1.26 mg d–1 for R and S cultivars, respectively. Data from Trial 2.
