Table 2. Correlation coefficients between mean values of NAM RILs for lesion mimic traits and disease resistance score values obtained from previous studies (SLB, Kump et al. [34]; NLB, Poland et al. [35]; GLS, Benson [33]).

Traits	Scores on NAM populations _(n<3606)
	HTR	SWR	DTAR
LES_inv	0.85^**** ^{(n = 3576)}	0.80^**** ^{(n = 3576)}	0.65^**** ^{(n = 3576)}
HTR		0.84^**** ^{(n = 3581)}	0.70^**** ^{(n = 3582)}
SWR			0.60^**** ^{(n = 3580)}

LES, lesion score; HTR, height ratio; SWR, stalk width ratio; DTAR, days to anthesis ratio; SLB, southern leaf blight resistance score ; GLS, gray leaf spot resistance score; NLB, northern leaf blight resistance score; N, sample size and _inv indicates that the original lesion/disease rating scale was inverted so that the correlation sign was consistent between comparisons so that in every case, a positive correlation implies increased HR was correlated with increased HR or with increased disease resistance.
