Fig 8. Correlation network of selected 19 plant architectural, fruit form, yield components, and fruit quality traits considered to construct the correlation network (r = 0.4).

Traits contributing to PC1 and PC2 are also assigned different gradient colors with gradient ranging from 2, 4, and 6 with gray15, dodgerblue, and firebrick, respectively. Width of correlation band explains the correlation robustness while colors red and dodgerblue illustrates negative and positive correlation, respectively. The traits included in PCA are abbreviated as F_St: Fruit Set; F_Sz: Fruit Size; PUN: Pungency; FS: Fruit Shape; FS_P: Fruit Shape at Pedicel Attachment; FS_B: Fruit Shape at Blossom End; FCS: Fruit Cross-Sectional Corrugation; FL: Fruit Length; FW: Fruit Width; FWT: Fruit Wall Thickness; Loc: Locules; Yld: Fruit Yield; Wgh: Fruit Weight; Usb: Usable Part; Prd: Productivity; Brx: Brix; V_C: Vitamin C; TP: Total Phenols; FRP: Antioxidant Potential.
