aOne hundred pairs of lodicules of each line were collected just before flowering to measure the starch and soluble sugar contents in each pair of lodicules; three replications were measured in 2015.
bData are means ± SE. Different letters within a column indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 in the same variety.
