crosses had been selected to balance the gametic contributions of parental lines in the two groups. P1, P2 = Parent 1 and Parent 2, DH = days to heading, DM = days to maturity, PH = plant height, TKW = thousand kernel weight, ME = malt extract, FR = friability, GPC = gain protein concentration, BG = beta-glucan.
