Intervention effect A. cruentus germination was higher under light.
Intervention effect C. olitorus germination was higher under light.
Intervention effect D. regia germinated more in darkness.
Intervention effect C. argentea germination showed no major difference between light and darkness.
Intervention effect A. esculentus plants were taller in shade than direct sunlight.
Intervention effect D. regia plants were taller in shade than direct sunlight.
Intervention effect A. cruentus seedlings were taller under direct sunlight than shade.
Intervention effect C. olitorius seedlings were taller under direct sunlight than shade.
Intervention effect C. argentea seedlings were taller under direct sunlight than shade.
Intervention effect A. esculentus shade plants exhibited lower leaf area.
Intervention effect C. argentea shade plants exhibited lower leaf area.
Intervention effect C. olitorius shade plants exhibited lower leaf area.
Intervention effect D. regia shade plants exhibited lower leaf area.
Intervention effect A. cruentus shade plants had higher leaf area, possibly adapting to limited light.
Observation Amaranthus cruentus is interpreted to adapt better to light.
Observation C. olitorius is interpreted to adapt better to light.
Observation D. regia is interpreted to adapt better to darkness.
Observation The authors suggest higher heat tolerance of A. cruentus, C. olitorius and C. argentea relative to A. esculentus and D. regia.
