- Observation Total seed N heritability was 0.57 in one population.
- Observation Shoot biomass heritability was 0.39 in one population.
- Observation Heritability estimates were near zero for all measured traits in a second population.
- Method / resource Testcross population means combined with realized heritability were the most reliable parental selection criteria.
- Intervention effect Selecting F3 families for total seed N increased F4 total seed N.
- Intervention effect Seed protein percentage was unchanged after selection.
- Recommendation On low-N soils, selection for total seed N offers an alternative to isotope or total-N-difference selection for fixation.
