Fig. 4

Shoot architecture of Soybean can be described by individual traits. (a) Plants were defoliated and branches trimmed before imaging. Different traits that were measured from the images are shown. (b) Variation for each trait is shown as box plots. Traits included are Branch angle (BA), Branch orientation (BO), Branch number (BN), Branch density (BD), Branching Zone (BZ), Branch Ratio (BR), Internode length at node 4 from the top of the plant (IL4), Leaf Width (LW), Petiole angle at node 4 from top of the plant (PA4), Leaf area (LA), Leaf Length (LL), Petiole length at node 4 from the top of the plant (PL4), Slope of top four petioles (PS4), Plant Height (PH), Number of nodes (NO), Slope of the top four internodes (IS4), and Canopy height (CH)
