Correlation matrix using phenotypic mean values for recovery (REC), electrolyte leakage (EL) from leave and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters. The parameters of JIP test were calculated and described as in Rapacz (2007): absorbed energy flux per leaf cross-section (CS) and the single, active PSII reaction center (RC) (ABS/CS, ABS/RC respectively); trapped energy flux in PSII reaction centers per leaf cross-section and the single, active PSII reaction center (Tr₀/CS, Tr₀/RC, respectively); the energy flux for electron transport per leaf cross-section and the single, active PSII reaction center (ET₀/CS, ET₀/RC, respectively); dissipation of energy in PSII reaction centers per leaf cross-section and the single, active PSII reaction center (DI₀/CS, DI₀/RC, respectively); yield of the energy trapping in PSII (F_v/F_m); performance indexes of PSII (PI) normalized for minimal and maximal densities of active reaction centers per leaf cross-section (PI_CS0 and PI_CSm, respectively); minimal and maximal densities of active reaction centers per leaf cross-section (RC/CS₀ and RC/CS_m, respectively); the quantum yield of electron transport (φEo); and the efficiency of the electron transfer from QA- to QB (ψo)
