Phenotypic comparisons of different haplotypes for different traits. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05), according to a pairwise t test. Haplotype analysis suggested that S453, S881 and S891, which associated with kernel length, might classify the population into two types. The two haplotypes differed significantly in kernel length at the P < 0.05 level. S527, S782 and S1031, which significantly associated with kernel width, could divide the panel into four haplotypes. The kernel width for haplotype 1, which corresponded to the HZS genotype, was significantly greater than that of haplotype 4, which corresponded to the LV28 genotype. S782 and S1031, which were related to 100-kernel weight, formed three different haplotypes. The phenotype of haplotype 3, which corresponded to the LV28 genotype, had a lower kernel weight than haplotype 2, which corresponded to the HZS genotype
