Figure 1. Comparisons of observed vs. simulated days to flowering for the evaluation datasets using different values of the coefficients P1V and P1D for the simulations: (A) conventionally estimated coefficients; (B) gene-based coefficients; (C) coefficients for a single generic cultivar (estimated as means of the conventional estimates). Fitted lines are for linear regressions with slopes and intercepts as given in Table 4.

Figure 2. Comparisons of residuals of regression with the generic cultivar vs. simulated days to flowering for the evaluation datasets using different values of the coefficients P1V and P1D for the simulations. Fitted lines are for linear regressions estimated separately for spring or winter types: (A) conventionally estimated coefficients; (B) gene-based coefficients.
