DNA polymorphisms and haplotype patterns of transcription factors involved in barley endosperm development are associated with key agronomic traits

Table 4 Haplotype-trait associations (P = 0.05) and percentage explained genetic variance (%Var) of the candidate genes' haplotypes

Candidate gene¹	Crude protein content		Starch content		Thousand-grain weight		Flowering time		Plant height
