View larger version (42K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1 Relative yield and seed maturation proportions for two buckwheat genotypes during the ripening season. Relative yields, represented as open or filled bars, were calculated as percentages compared with the maximum yields during the ripening period for each genotype. Discoloration proportions were represented as lines with triangles or squares. LSD (0.05) in relative yields were 4.5 for Kitawasesoba in 1997, 4.2 for Kitawase D in 1997, 2.6 for Kitawasesoba in 1998, and 3.2 for Kitawase D in 1998

MS-L, five basal racemes on the main stem; MS-U, additional apical racemes on the main stem; B1-L, five proximal racemes on primary Branches 1 and 2; B1-U, additional apical racemes on the same branches; B2, racemes on Branches 3, 4, etc.; SB, racemes on secondary branches

View larger version (61K): [in a new window]   Fig. 4 Distribution of mature seeds at various raceme postions in two buckwheat genotypes during the ripening season. Areas represent basal racemes on main stem (MS-L), apical racemes on main stem (MS-U), proximal racemes on upper primary branches (B1-L), distal racemes on upper primary branches (B1-U), racemes on lower primary branches (B2), and racemes on secondary branches (SB). See also Fig. 3. SB for Kitawasesoba and MS-U and B1-U for Kitawase D are absent since no mature seeds were observed in Kitawasesoba and none of Kitawase D plants bore more than five racemes on the main stem or branches
