Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Flag-leaf lamina area, head extrusion, head length and yield were controlled by minor genes.
- Observation Partial dominance occurred for yield, flag-leaf area and head length.
- Observation Over-dominance contributed to extrusion inheritance.
- Observation Genetic factors for small leaves dominated those for large leaves.
- Observation Genetic factors for small leaf size appeared distributed over all chromosomes.
- Association Increased head extrusion was associated with high yield.
- Association Large flag-leaf area was associated with high yield.
