Data presented are the estimates of the least-squares means of the morphological characteristics measured. ses are in parentheses. Those figures in each column followed by a different letter are significantly different at P ≤ 0.05.
↵F2-a The node from which axillary buds were released (nodes were numbered upward from the base).
