GREEN SEED COAT COLOUR RETENTION IN LENTIL - University ...

significantly (a = 0.05) lower index score, thus was more green, than 1294M-23, the
desirable green parent, indicating that transgressive segregation occurred. The least
green RIL was RIL 81, with a high mean index of 7.45. It was significantly (a =
0.05) less green than most RILs in the study. 1294M-23 was a more desired green
than the mean index of 5.72. The ten greenest RILs all had significantly lower
index scores than the ten least desired green genotypes (Table 4.8).

and ten least desirable RILs from SPG, Sutherland, and Elrose during 2005
