Table 3.
Comparison of the corresponding pairs of genetic and phenotypic correlations common bean traits grown under contrasting water regimes, where /RG/ and /Rp/ are the average absolute values of genetic and phenotypic correlation, respectively; D is the average disparity; rM is the matrix correlation between genetic and phenotypic correlation matrices; PrM is the proportion of permutation matrix correlation exceeding the observed matrix correction.

NS, well watered non-stress; DS, drought stress; rg,i,j, genetic correlation between trait i and j; rp,i,j, phenotypic correlation between trait i and j; No corr, number of correlation; NA, not applicable. PrM is the probability of obtaining a matrix correlation as high or higher by chance. If PrM is less than the table wide significance level of 0.01, then the null hypothesis of no pattern similarity is rejected.
