Critical values of correlation coefficients at probabilities of 0.05 and 0.01 are 0.14 and 0.19, respectively. ^aEnvironments are presented as (of BC/M trial)/(of BC/P trial). ^bCorrelation coefficients within underline referred to the measurements of the same trait between BC/M trial and BC/P trial. ^cCorrelation coefficients between two traits in each cell are presented as “(in BC/M trial in the environment), (in BC/P trial in the environment)”.
