The SPSS univariate analysis of variance (UNIANOVA) in general linear model was used to calculate the F-values of the four genotypes (G), three sulfur treatments (E) and G×E on each agronomically important trait. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; nsmeans not significant; the number of biologically independent replicate (plot or pot) for each genotype under each sulfur treatment is 3. Under a fixed nitrogen application rate of 25 kg ha-1, the statistically significant impacts of sulfur treatments on protein yield, grain yield (nitrogen-use efficiency) and morphologic traits were found in both 2014 field trial and glasshouse experiment.
