Highly significant entry effects were indicated for all the grain quality parameters, from the grain shape and size (PRM, LNG, WDT) up to the colouration (CLR_a, CLR_b, CLR_L) and seed nutrient content (PRT, STRCH, β-GLC) ( Table 7 ).

The sentences
No significant effects were found for the HI based on the selection status of the lines, even though a clear trend for high HI values was revealed for the first year HY lines that recorded a mean HI value of 0.41 across the three environments compared to the 0.36 HI value of the source materials.
Yet, as the high correlation to the biological yield entails the G × E effect for grain yield was marginally significant, implying a good buffering capacity of the selected lines for this particular trait, too.
