Correlation coefficients of phenotypes of BMLs. Larger numerical values and sizes indicate a stronger correlation. LL, leaf length; LW, leaf width; TH, time to heading date; SL, stem length; PN, panicle number; TM, time to maturity; PL, panicle length; GL, grain length; GW, grain width; GR, grain L/W ratio; PF, percentage of fertility; BF, breaking force. The interpretation of coefficient intervals: 0–0.19 (very low), 0.2–0.39 (low), 0.4–0.59 (middle), 0.6–0.79 (strong), and 0.8–1.0 (very strong). The asterisk indicates a significance (* = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01; *** = p < 0.001).
