df = degree of freedom.
DFF = days to 50% flowering, DM = days to 90 maturity, NP = number of pods per plant, NS = number of seeds per pod, SWPP = seed weight per plant, NSPP = number of seeds per plant, PH = plant height in cm, SW = 100-seed weight in gram, BI = biomass, PSS = pod set score.
**, * = significant at 5% and 1% probability levels, respectively.
NS = nonsignificant.
