Genetic Load Study: Productivity. Average vegetative dry weight and seed yield (2e +4 = 20,000 seeds, 1e + 5 = 100,000 seeds, etc.) of non-transgenic Brassica napus (BN), Brassica rapa (BR) and transgenic BC1/F2 hybrid lines (GT1, GT5 and GT9) grown under non-competitive (A and C) and competitive field conditions (B and D). Columns with the same letter do not differ statistically (P < 0.0001). Error bars represent ± standard error of the means. Note that different Y-axis scales are used among figure panels.
