  1. Analyses of variance on leaf length(Llength), leaf elongation duration(LED)and maximum leaf elongation rate(LERmax)for spring and autumn on 'Herbie' and for autumn on the core collection (Cc). Are indicated: error (σ2E) and genotypic (σ2GE) variances, coefficient of variation (CV) and heritability (H2)
