  1. DPE, days to panicle emergence (days); DM, days to maturity (days); PH, plant height (cm); PL, panicle length (cm); SBY, shoot biomass yield (g); GY, grain yield (g); HI, harvest index; RCP, root colonization percentage (%); RL, root length (cm); RDW, root dry weight (g); SRL, specific root length (cm g−1), and RDD, root depth distribution (g m−3). Values in each cluster represent the mean of morphological and agronomic traits based on the cluster analysis (Squared Euclidean Distance).
