Figure 1. Overall mean yields (kg ha–1) for selected proso lines (10 of 30) from the 2002–2003 trial. Selected lines represent top eight lines and waxy Chinese plant introduction. Lighter gray bars denote waxy lines, capital P denotes parents of experimental line.

Figure 2. Environmental variation for (a) days to heading, (b) plant height (cm), (c) lodging (0–10), (d) yield (kg ha–1), (e) test weight (g L–1), and (f) seed size (seed g–1). Heavy lines show maximum and minimum individual waxy progeny lines for each trait; dashed line shows waxy progeny mean. Location means served as the X coordinates for locations along the environmental index. The line within location means were then plotted on the Y-axis above their location mean.
