Transverse and wholegrain trait correlations across different barley genotypes. (AC) Phenotypic measurements from all grain samples for 33 genotypes obtained using transverse grain sections. (A) Aleurone area vs endosperm area. (B) Aleurone proportion vs endosperm area. (C) Aleurone width vs aleurone area. (D–F) Correlations between grain measurements (averages) for all 2-row genotypes (n = 30) using the SeedCount, Single Kernel Characterisation System and/or transverse grain sections. (D) Grain width vs endosperm area. (E) Grain weight vs endosperm area. (F) Grain hardness index vs aleurone proportion. EA, Endosperm area; AA, aleurone area; AP, aleurone proportion; AW, aleurone width; GWi, grain width; GWt, grain weight. Significance indicators: ***p ≤ 0.001, **p ≤ 0.01, *p ≤ 0.05.
