Biomass production
A range of GY was observed in the current study. The white commercial cultivar and pure brown 44A-163-B were ranked relatively high in GY and HI and low in TDM, with the former showing a significantly higher GY as compare to the latter (Table 3). Interestingly, the brown lines (53-1-B, 53-2-B, and 53-3-B) exhibited a similar pattern and were also ranked higher in GY and HI and lower in TDM as compare to most of their white counterparts (Table 3). The best preforming in terms of GY was the white cultivar. Second was 44B-163-W, which was not significantly different from the pure brown 44A-163-B, as well as from the other brown lines
