Table 1. Comparison of manual and image-based trait heritabilities.
| Trait Name (unit) | Abbreviation | Heritability | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manual | Image-Based | Manual | Image-Based | |
| Tassel Length (cm) | TL | TLp | 0.95 | 0.79 |
| Spike Length (cm) | SL | SLp | 0.95 | 0.79 |
| Branch Number (count) | BN | BNp | 0.97 | 0.82 |
| Tassel Weight (g) | TW | TWp | 0.96 | 0.86 |
Heritabilities for four different tassel morphological traits, measured both manually and using image-based methods. TL, SL, and BN were measured in three environments, whereas TW, TLp, SLp, BNp, and TWp were measured in one environment.
