a, b Ears of ZD958 (Z58 × Chang7-2; a) and ZD958Lfy1 (Lfy1 introgressed Z58 × Chang7-2; b); c–g Leaf number above primary ear (LNPE) and total leaf number (LN) (c), days to anthesis (DTA) and days to silk (DTS) (d), ear length (e), ear weight (f), plant height (PH) and ear height (EH) (g) in ZD958 and ZD958Lfy1. After pollen shedding, 25 plants were randomly selected for evaluating LN, LNPE, PH, and EH. More than 180 plants were selected for evaluating DTA and DTS. After harvest, 30 ears were randomly selected for measuring EL and EW. The error bars indicate mean ± SD. A two-tailed Student’s t-test was used to determine P-values between genotypes. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
