+## Phenotype *lwd1* mutants under SD conditions
 
 Grow *lwd* mutants and the wild-type GP-fast under short-day (SD) conditions. Score flowering time and phenotypic traits at flowering and at harvest when plants are fully dry.
 
-**study overview**
+**Study overview:**
 
-input: lwd1-26, lwd1-390, lwd1-402, GP-fast (WT)
+	input: lwd1-26, lwd1-390, lwd1-402, GP-fast (WT)
 
 	-> assay: plant_phenotyping
 		output: 
 				- flowering time (in DAE)
 				- at flowering: plant height, leaf number, tiller number
-				- at harvest (on main culm): spike length, floret and grain number, spike fertility
+				- at harvest (on main culm): spike length, floret and grain number,
