^a Data were arcsine-transformed before the analyses.

^b The area not covered by husk following pruning the spikelets.

^c The area covered with the remainder of the husk following pruning of the spikelets.

^d Both of naked grain and grain covered by husk.

^e Unclear whether naked grain or covered by husk.

NS shows no significant difference by t-test.

The number represents the means ± standard deviation of per panicle on each plant after group feeding treatment.
