Chlorophyll contents (SPAD value) are the average ± SE of three leaves from ten individual plants. Plant height, tiller number, dry biomass and grain yield are the average ± SE of ten individual plants; 77 days post-germination. Biomass is the total dry weight of leaf, stem and sheath tissue. Different letters within groups indicate statistical significance based on a one-way ANOVA (p ≤ 0.05) with a Least Significant Difference (LSD) test for post-hoc pairwise comparison.
