***
Physiologically the following stages are usually distinguished: germination, emergence,
tillering, floral initiation or double ridges, terminal spikelet, first node or beginning of
stem elongation, boot, spike emergence, anthesis and maturity. These stages may be
grouped in germination to emergence (E); growth stage 1 (GS1) from emergence to
double ridges; growth stage 2 (GS2) from double ridges to anthesis and growth stage
3 (GS3), to include the grain filling period, from anthesis to maturity (Figure 1).
Physiological maturity is usually taken as the time when the flag leaf and spikes turn
yellow (Hanft and Wych, 1982). **
