Some aspects (number of pods and seeds weight) were evaluated and observations showed that genotype BR-16-AHAS was more affected than Doko-AHAS compared to their conventional counterparts. Another experiment was conducted with the two transformed genotypes (AHAS) at a dosage of zero and 100 g i.a. ha -1 imazapyr application in the summer. The relative responses of the two genotypes were similar to the winter results but the herbicide effects differed regarding mainly the most affected position in each genotype. The herbicide imazapyr applied (100 g i.a. ha -1) onto AHAS gene-transformed plants may induce the development of sterile pods.

Individual and combined variance analyses of trials were performed and genetic variance components estimated for ear yield (EY), plant height (PH), and ear height (EH). A high additive variance value was obtained for EY, in contrast to values found in literature, indicating that composites have large variability and are promising for recurrent selection programs.
