Table 2 Identification of SSST blind samples. MIRL22-A.unknown-24 to 86 were provided by the Saskatoon Seed Science and Technology unit. The samples corresponding to MIRL22-A.unknown-37, 49 and 71 were not included due to lack of valid morphological identification

From: Seed protein biotyping in Amaranthus species: a tool for rapid identification of weedy amaranths of concern

  1. 1 Each row corresponds to a single seed selected from a single source. The bioyping identification call of each one of these seeds used a majority rule for 3 technical replicates per seed (if two technical replicates indicated one species, the sample was catalogued as such). Original data with technical replicates can be found in Additional file 5
  2. 2 Average score from 3 technical replicates on the same seed. When using 2 technical replicates for the majority rule identification, the average was done between the 2 matching reps
  3. 3 Samples marked as ‘atypical’ correspond to seeds that are less mature or outside the range of variation for typical seeds and would result in uncertain identification
  4. 4 Flatlined samples did not produce a protein spectra in any of the three technical replicates
  5. 5 Mismatches between protein biotyping and phenotypic identification
