a) For each trait, the p-values (Wald F-test) of the analyses after model (1) of the factors dose and light and their interaction are shown. Significant results are printed in bold (p < 0.05). b) Means (mm) and standard errors (s.e.) are detailed. Treatments at a time point (in column) with no letters in common differ significantly (p < 0.05, Tukey–Kramer test). Significant differences between the Dose treatments at same light level are shown in bold
