Table 4

Association between Phy:nutrients and Phy:Ca molar ratios and thousand grain weight and grain protein content for cv. Zhenis spring wheat and advanced mutant lines (100 Gy- and 200 Gy-derived).

Trait	Phy:Fe	Phy:Zn	Ca:Phy
cv. Zhenis
TGW, g	0.007	0.759	0.126
GPC, %	0.00	0.013	0.002
100 Gy-derived lines
TGW, g	0.086	0.02	0.03
GPC, %	0.025	0.005	0.00
200 Gy-derived lines
TGW, g	0.222	0.033	0.003
GPC, %	0.0012	0.141	0.014

Note. The lines were significantly different from the parent line. Each line was analyzed by three replicates. Asterisks, , , and , denote significance at the p<0.05, 0.01, and 0.001 probability level, respectively.
