^a PH plant height.

^b EH ear height.

^c ILAU the internode length above the uppermost ear.

^d CK without ethylene (CK) treatments.

^e ET with ethylene (ET) treatments.

h² the broad-sense heritability.

CI Confidence interval, the confidence intervals of broad-sense heritability between 5 and 95% significance levels.
