Other claims from this paper (14)
- Association Genotype, environment and their interaction affected all tocopherols.
- Observation Genotype ranking varied little.
- Observation Alpha-tocopherol represented 6% across genotypes and environments.
- Observation Delta-tocopherol represented 34% across genotypes and environments.
- Observation Gamma-tocopherol represented 60% across genotypes and environments.
- Observation Alpha-tocopherol varied significantly among genotypes from 8.7 to 33.2 μg g −1.
- Observation Environments differed significantly but minimally for all tocopherols.
- Observation Alpha-tocopherol concentration varied 42% on average across environments.
- Association Alpha-tocopherol stability was not linked to mean concentration.
- Observation Cultivar Heron combined high alpha-tocopherol stability and mean concentration.
- Association Alpha-tocopherol did not correlate with other measured seed characteristics.
- Association Other tocopherols correlated negatively with seed yield, seed weight and crude protein.
- Association Tocopherols generally correlated positively with each other.
- Recommendation The authors considered selection for high alpha-tocopherol feasible.
