Fig. 8

Pearson’s correlation coefficients between the studied traits. In this figure, Y1 through Y19 represent various parameters including yield, neck diameter, pseudo stem height, plant height, plant biomass, bulb weight, percentage of bulb humidity, bulb dry matter, percentage ratio of bulb dry matter to plant dry matter, bulb length, bulb width, bulb height, sphericity coefficient, number of tunics, clove number, clove weight, dry matter yield, total pyruvate content, and allicin yield, respectively. ns, *, ** and *** are non- significant, significant at the 5, 1 and 0.1% probability levels, respectively.
