Table 5 Correlations between (1) the shoot transpiration efficiency calculated between harvests from the first experiment (first column), and (2) the reference shoot transpiration efficiency, i.e. for a harvest performed soon after flowering (E1H5)

  1. The duration between the considered harvests is presented in days. For each considered period, TE of each genotype was calculated as the difference of the genotypic mean biomass between the final harvest and initial harvest, divided by the genotypic mean water use between those two harvests (n = 11)
