Table 3.
Phenotypic, genotypic, and environmental correlation coefficients (and their standard error) between whole-plant TE (TEwp) and leaf-level traits.
| Traits | Experiment | Correlation coefficients | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phenotypic | Genotypic | Environmental | ||
| TEwp vs.carbon isotope discrimination | 3 | −0.19 (0.21) ns | 0.11 (0.60) ns | −0.34 (0.27) ns |
| TEwp vs. stomatal density | 3 | −0.01 (0.14) ns | −0.20 (0.33) ns | 0.12 (0.24) ns |
| TEwp vs. transpiration rate | 3 | −0.17 (0.15) ns | −0.24 (0.27) ns | −0.10 (0.40) ns |
| TEwp vs. wilting index | 3 | 0.05 (0.15) ns | 0.08 (0.30) ns | 0.02 (0.29) ns |
Data corresponds to experiment 3 under water deficit treatment. * and ns indicate that correlation coefficients are significantly different or not significantly different from zero, respectively.
