Correlation analysis of seed traits and seedling traits in maize. (A) Maize seed came from different parts of ear (top 1/4, middle 1/3 and bottom 1/4) of maize inbred line Z58. (B) Maize seed came from different parts of ear (top 1/4, middle 1/3 and bottom 1/4) of maize cultivars ZD958. (C) Maize seed came from the middle part of ear in two maize inbred lines (Z58 and C7-2) and one maize cultivar (ZD958). All maize seed produced under two water level, i.e. normal irrigation and no irrigation with control rainfall. RCP: the relative content of protein (%). ACP: the absolute content of protein (mg seed−1). Asterisks denote a significant correlation (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01).
