IntroductionCorrelations among traits across genotypesCorrelations among observed variables across genotypes showed similar patterns <strong>for</strong> Exp1 (Table 1)<strong>and</strong> Exp2 (Table 2). R values had the same orientation between experiments <strong>for</strong> all pairs of variables<strong>and</strong> were significant (P0.6 was observed between tiller number <strong>and</strong> dry weight relatedvariables (RGR <strong>and</strong> SDW). The strongest correlation in Exp2 was between DR <strong>and</strong> RGR (R=0.69),although tiller number vs. RGR <strong>and</strong> DR were only slightly less correlated. The high correlationbetween SDW <strong>and</strong> RGR is of no significance because these two variables were not independentlymeasured.In both experiments, LL1 was positively (P
