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
