Seed Mass Per Plant

The weight of all seed collected from a single lentil plant and can be used to estimate the crop yield. The seed mass is dependant upon a number of environmental conditions including moisture level with seed weight decreasing with a decrease in moisture content (Tang et al., 1990).

Seed Mass/plant (grams)
Figure: Comparison of observed Seed Mass Per Plant (Seed Mass/plant) between site years for AGILE Activity 2: Phenotyping in three major lentil production macro-environments.
Seed Mass Per Plant was measured in grams.Single plants were selected randomly from the middle of the plot. Each plant was individually threshed and the collected seeds were weighed. Replicates were then averaged per germplasm within a single site-year. The chart shows the traditional box plot with the kernel density estimation flanking it. Thus values in a wider section of the plot represent higher probability that members of the sampled germplasm collection will show that phenotype.
