Fig. 5

These figures present, in a more consolidated way, one subset of the significant differences shown in detail in Figs 2, 3 and 4 (i.e. those shown using solid lines in those graphs, thus showing significant differences, within any one treatment, between either the 12 °C and 22 °C rates, at 40 and 45 DAS (a and c, respectively) or the 32 °C and 12 °C rates at 40 and 45 DAS (b and d, respectively). As in the previous figures, the gender symbols indicate the gender of the wild type parent that experienced the stress (the other parent was an unstressed detector line). The subscripted abbreviations MR, FS, IC, BS, and TS refer to, respectively: meiotic recombination, frameshift mutations, intrachromosomal recombination, base substitutions and transpositions. These genetic events were scored with either one, two or three detector line/s, and where more than one detector line was used, the sequence of the symbols within any one set of brackets reflects the sequence of the detector lines shown in Figs 2, 3 or 4 (i.e for the MR set shown in Fig. 5, the three symbols refer to, in order: lines 3154, 3158 and 3162; the ICR lines in sequence are: 651; R2L1; and the BS lines are 747 and M4). The up and down arrows indicate, respectively, that (relative to the control rate) in the progeny of a stressed parent, the rate of the designated genetic event was higher or lower. The dotted, single- and double-barred arrows indicate that the significant differences had, respectively, the following levels of significance: P < 0.05; P < 0.01; and P < 0.001. A dashed line indicates that there was no significant difference
