Relationships of seed-related traits. (a) Correlation between each pair of the investigated traits. (b) Principle component analysis (PCA) of the investigated traits. Seeds were collected at 11 different growth stages that were generated from 8 environments to evaluate three vigor traits (standard germination, SG; accelerated aging germination, AAG and cold test germination, CTG), two physiological traits (hundred-seed weight, HSW and seed moisture content, SMC), and an ecological trait (≥10 °C accumulated temperature from pollination to harvest, AT10ph). *Indicates a significant correlation at p < 0.001.
