Distribution of seed-size categories for the four plant types (modified from reference [19]).
Figure 1.
Four plant growth characteristics of the three seed-size categories of wild Brassica juncea at three plant densities in the monoculture experiment.
Each group of bars represents plants derived from three seed-size categories for a given plant density. Significant effects of seed size were observed for the four traits. Effects of density were observed for flowering date and seed number only.

Means (±SE) of growth characteristics of the mustard plants in the monoculture experiment at three densities and for plants derived from three seed-size categories: LSP, MSP and SSP for large-, medium- and small-seeded plants, respectively.
Table 3.
Means (±SE) of growth characteristics of plants in the multi-culture experiment at two densities and for plants derived from three seed-size categories: LSP, MSP and SSP for large, medium and small-seeded plants, respectively.
Figure 2.
Four plant growth characteristics of the four plant types–transgenic B. napus (GT), transgenic F1 (trF1), non-transgenic F1 (ntrF1) and wild B. juncea (wild)–at high density (black bar) and low density (white bar) in the multi-culture experiment.
Different letters indicate significantly different values, evaluated using Tukey's HSD test at P<0.05.
Figure 3.
Four plant growth characteristics of the four plant types–transgenic B. napus (GT), transgenic F1 (trF1), non-transgenic F1 (ntrF1) and wild B. juncea (wild)–for three seed categories (large, medium and small in black, white and grey, respectively) in the multi-culture experiment.
Significant effects were observed for seed number and biomass only. Different letters indicate significantly different values, evaluated using Tukey's HSD test at P<0.05.
