Biplot of principal component analysis (PCA). Axis 1 for principal component 1 with adult emergence (AE), mean developmental period (MDP), percent weight loss of grains (WL), seed hardness (SH), protein, total soluble sugars (TSS), starch, amylolytic activity (AA), phenol, insect amylase (IA) and insect protease (IP) and axis 2 for principal component 2 with seed index (S.I.). Lines with blue dots represent the various parameters and orange dots represent the wheat cultivars understudy in the order HI 1544 (1), GW 322 (2), HD 3117 (3), HD 3184 (4), HD 3118 (5), HD 2932 (6), HD 3086 (7), HD 3165 (8), HI 1500 (9), HD 2967 (10), HD 3059 (11), HD 3090 (12), HD 4728 (13), HI 8381 (14), HD 1563 (15) and PBW 343 (16).
