Pearson’s correlation coefficients between plant traits in the two evaluated populations

	Plant height (cm)	Branch number	Boll number	Seed set weight (g)	Seed index (g)
Plant height (cm)	–	0.42**	0.12	0.14	0.16
Branch number	0.37**	–	0.15	0.05	−0.13
Boll number	0.38**	0.34**	–	0.40**	−0.07
Seed set weight (g)	0.28*	0.27	0.64**	–	0.11
Seed index (g)	−0.03	−0.03	−0.03	0.07	–

Entries above the diagonal represent the correlation coefficient for (E3) F₂; entries below the diagonal represent the correlation coefficient for (3E) F₂. **p < 0.01,*p < 0.05
