[STAT Article] How to calculate reaction norm in crop physiology?
□ Quantifying Phenotypic Plasticity of Crops In my previous post, I explained how to quantify phenotypic plasticity in crops and described three different approaches: 1) Responsiveness, 2) Reaction Norm, and the 3) Finlay-Wilkinson Regression Model. Responsiveness is calculated as (Treatment − Control) / Control. It indicates how the dependent variable (e.g., yield) responds to a given treatment relative to the control. The responsiveness value can range from −1 (complete reduction) to values greater than 0, depending on the magnitude of…
