Pearson’s correlation coefficients among best linear unbiased estimations of validation trials (BLUES_Validation) and best linear unbiased estimations of the historical data (BLUES_Historical), the arithmetic means of the historical data (Mean_Historical), and the normalized rank product of the historical data (NRP_Historical) for flowering time (FT) and plant height (PH).

^∗∗∗P < 0.001. Mean_Historical and NRP_Historical were previously published by Keilwagen et al. (2014). The correlations of flowering time and plant height were estimated based on 2,232 and 2,221 common accessions, respectively.
