Figure 4From: Improvement of marker-based predictability of Apparent Amylose Content in japonica rice through GBSSI allele miningCorrelations between grain shape parameters and AAC. A) Scatterplot matrix of grain (dehulled caryopses, i.e., brown rice) characters. Histogram distribution plots for the single variables are shown on the diagonal cells. Below them the bivariate distributions are shown for every pair of traits. Confidence ellipses (ELL) mark confidence limit for each distribution (P = 0.95, for a normal bivariate); B) Pearson’s correlation coefficients for grain (dehulled caryopses, i.e., brown rice) characters. All the correlations are significant with P ≤ 0.001 (probabilities were adjusted by Bonferroni’s correction for multiple tests; n = 126).Back to article page
