Mark,

Thanks! That is helpful. My next question is what is your phenotype(s)? I couldn't read any of the axes or text in the screenshot you posted. I can tell that there are more bars than treatments though, so one suggestion is to take the mean per treatment and plot that (and you could even add error bars for the standard deviation).

Best wishes,

Chris

How are you measuring growth? The plant in the picture doesn't look damaged too me, it just has a curved stem (maybe growing towards the light?). If you are measuring height, you could try to gently straighten it out to measure height (but need to do this the same way for all plants).  If you have access to a balance you could also weight the plants at the end of the experiment.
