4.5 Statistical analysis
A one-way analysis of variance and comparison of means using Tukey’s honestly significant difference test at 95%
confidence interval (
p
<0.05) were carried out. Agronomic data were processed and statistically analyzed using
Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research software v2.0.1, a free application tool created using Eclipse Rich Client
Platform and R language developed at IRRI (IRRI, 2013).
Authors’ contributions
KKJ conceived the study and wrote the manuscript. NB and HS participated in experimental design and evaluated
the ABLs for blast resistance in Turkey. SMK developed the early generation progenies. MMDV advanced the
progenies, carried out foreground genotyping analysis, conducted blast screening experiments, gathered agronomic
data, and drafted the manuscript. RBV carried out background genotyping, statistical analysis, and drafted the
manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
