Table 6. Summary of results of the stepwise multiple linear regression analysis for grain yield as dependent variable and other traits as independent variables at grain filling stage under deficient irrigation treatments with saline water.
Independent Variablea | Parameter estimate |
---|---|
Constant | 0.762** |
Soluble carbohydrates | −0.153*** |
Δ13C | 0.311** |
WUEgy | 40.294*** |
R2 (%) | 95.64 |
Adjusted R2 (%) | 95.06 |
Standard error of the estimate | 0.14 |
a Only the variables with a significance of p<0.1 were included in the model. The variables were previously standardized. The equation of the fitted model is: Grain yield=0.762−0.153×Soluble carbohydrates+0.311×Δ13C +40.294×WUEgy Significance: **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001.
