Summarizing the results of the foregoing table for the three

 twelve show both an increased number of typical kernels and 

 an increased protein content in the progeny over the originals, 

 the averages being as follows : 



Original Progeny 



Average per cent typical kernels 83.6 98.10 



Average per cent total protein 13.54 14.78 



In Group I, three, out of a total of seven, show a decrease in 

 the percentage of typical kernels and the other four show the 

 same as the original, the average being 98.7 per cent with an 

 average protein content of 13.49 per cent in the original against 

 15.14 in the progeny. 



In Group III, consisting of ten samples, nine show an increase 

 in both percentage of typical kernels and total protein, the 

 average being:
