Table 5. Indices of the stomatal assemblage (± S) on the lower surface of the preflag leaf in monosomic lines for each of the A, B, and D genomes of wheat variety Chinese Spring and the Chinese Spring control. Number of stomata is per mm^2^; all other measurements are in microns. P <= 0.05, ** P <= 0.01, and *** P <= 0.001.
