Synopsis Low HCN was associated with the following simply inherited characters: green striped −1, golden −1, golden −2, yellow leaf tip, single seeded spikelets, Chiltex leaf spot, and normal green as contrasted with green striped −2 in Tift × 15. Pleiotropy seemed more likely than linkage to explain several of the associations. High HCN was associated with stem coarseness in several progenies. Low HCN was dominant in the F 1 of crosses involving line 109.
