A single dose-response curve.
data(ryegrass)
A data frame with 24 observations on the following 2 variables.
The data are part of a study to investigate the joint action of phenolic acids on root growth inhibition of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L).
conc is the concentration of ferulic acid is in mM, and rootl is the root length
of perennial ryegrass measured in cm.
