  1. GY, Grain yield (g/m2); NKS, Number of kernel per spike; TKW, Thousand kernel weight (g); KL, Kernel length (mm); KD, Kernel diameter (mm); PH, Plant height (cm); FLL, Flag leaf length (mm); FLW, Flag leaf width (mm); Zn, Grain zinc content (µg/g); Fe, Grain iron content (µg/g).
  2. ¥For each trait, means followed by the same letter are not significantly different, using LSD test at 5% level of probability.
