Figure 3. Correlations between and within the four traits (LA: maximum leaf area; LWR: leaf length-width ratio; SLA: specific leaf area; FT: flowering time) in the F2 population. Scatterplots of all traits are given below the diagonal and Spearman’s correlation coefficients and associated significance are given above the diagonal.
