  1. A. Seeds were sown on MS medium and grown for one week. The seedlings were transferred to MS medium with 1.0 μM norflurazon and grown for a further two weeks
  2. B. Seeds were grown on MS medium with 1.0 μM norflurazon for one week, then transferred to MS medium for three weeks
  3. Letters (a and b) indicate significant differences at p < 0.05 (Student’s t-test)
  4. MPV mid-parent values, BPH best-parent values
  5. Mean ± Standard errors
