  1. aMean ear rot severity is reported as the average of the entry least square means (back-transformed to the original 0-100% disease severity scale).
  2. bEstimated genetic variance component from ASReml.
  3. cAverage prediction error variance among all pair-wise comparisons of entries from ASReml.
