Fig. 5. Scatter diagram of individual plot values of Fusarium ear rot severity and transformed fumonisin concentration in the NCB population in 2002 and 2003. Darker points indicate 10 recombinant inbred lines with the lowest entry mean fumonisin concentrations across all environments. Fumonisin (concentration) represents square root transformed data and fumonisin (µg g1) represents back-transformed data.

Fig. 6. Scatter diagram of individual plot values of Fusarium ear rot severity and transformed fumonisin concentration in the GEFR population in 2002 and 2003. Darker points indicate 10 families with the lowest entry mean fumonisin concentration across all environments. Fumonisin (concentration) represents natural log transformed data and fumonisin (µg g1) represents back-transformed data.
