Blast evaluation of the GWAS panel. a Frequency distribution of infection types in the field evaluation (1–9 SES scale; International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) 1996. Lower values correspond to higher resistance); b Frequency distribution of infection types after growth chamber inoculation with a mix of the three blast isolates (1–5 scale by Faivre-Rampant et al. 2011; as above); c Reaction norm between the two infection conditions; Pearson correlation coefficient (ρ) is indicated; d Distribution of blast resistance scores of the panel in the three sub-populations
