Table 4 Performance of 2-way, 4-way and 8-way cross derived lines for key water use traits contributing to drought stress tolerance. Traits such as Transpiration Efficiency, Transpiration Rate and Total Water Use were the estimated parameters. Shoot biomass and grain yield were the recorded traits measured. WW stands for Well-watered; WS for Water stressed. The top performing entries for the respective traits are highlighted with the # symbol. The descriptive statistical parameters calculated include Mean, Standard Error, Minimum, Maximum and Coefficient of Variation.

From: Development of high yielding and stress resilient post-rainy season sorghum cultivars using a multi-parent crossing approach
