Morphological variability of grain colour, glume colour and hairiness, number of grain per glume, panicle compactness and grain covering within evaluated accessions (a) red grain, purple glume, absence of hairiness, semi-compact panicle; (b) white grain, black glume, semi-loose panicle; (c) red grain, black glume, loose panicle; (d) white grain, black glume, high hairiness, semi compact panicle, two grains per glume; (e) yellow grain, beige glume, medium hairiness, compact panicle; (f) orange grain, red glume, compact panicle; (g) red grain, red glume, 75% of grain covered, loose panicle; (h) red grain, purple glume, 50% of grain covered, semi loose panicle; (i) white grain, black glume, medium hairiness, compact panicle; (j) white grain, black glume, low hairiness, loose panicle; (k) red grain, black glume, 100% of grain covered, loose panicle; (l) white grain, purple glume, 75% of grain covered, loose panicle.
