Fig.5 Norm of reaction plots (left panels) and effect size plots (right panels) illustrating the effects of ploidy level and defoliation on growth traits (different boxes) of trees recovering from a prolonged drought treatment. For each trait, norm of reaction plots show mean (± SE) responses of eight different diploid and triploid genotypes when recovering from drought and having experienced either defoliation or no defoliation prior to drought. Data points are horizontally jittered to reduce overlapping. The corresponding effect size plots show the relative explanatory importance of each fixed effect as the partial R2 value and the proportion of variance explained by each random effect in the trait model. Asterisks indicate statistical significance (p< 0.050). Statistics for fixed effects and random intercepts are shown in the supplementary data Table S3. dw = dry weight.
