List of the 15 best (highest significance) Spearman correlations between control values of the MetabOxi variables and grain yield loss (GY loss). Spearman rank correlation values and significance between the same variables and flowering at sampling (Sam-Flow) are displayed. R2, variance explained by the linear model created between the trait and each variable. An asterisk indicates a MetabOxi variable significantly correlated with both grain yield loss and flowering at sampling.
