Line	HD	CL	PL	TN	SN	RGP	TGW	BRY^a
	(days)	(cm)	(cm)	(No.)	(No.)	(%)	(g)	(ton/ha)
Namil	101^b	78^b	25^a	11^a	117^b	87^a	26.5^a	6.00^a
Suweon 542	104^a	84^a	26^a	11^a	155^a	58^b	22.2^b	5.67^b

^aMeans with the same letter are not significantly different at P < 0.05 in the least significant difference test (LSD_0.05). The means of each line were obtained from replicated yield trials with three replication plots. HD: days-to-heading after sowing, CL: culm length, PL: panicle length, TN: tiller number, SN: spikelet number per panicle, RGP: ripened grains percentage, TGW: 1,000-grain weight of brown rice (dehulled kernel), BRY: brown rice yield.
