Principal component analysis (PCA) (based on correlation matrix) of
continuous plant traits: TDM (Total Dry Matter),GY (Grain Yield), HI
(Harvest Index), EGC (Early Ground Cover), LSD (Lower Stem width), USD
(Upper stem width), Chla/gFW (Chlorophyll a), Chlb/gFW (Chlorophyll b),
Chl/gFW (Total Chlorophyll), Chl a/b ratio, DSP (Days from Sowing to
Panicle emergence), DPM (Days from Panicle emergence to Maturation), DSM
(Days from Sowing to Maturation), AGW (Average Grain Weight), SL (Seed
length), SpL (Spikelet length), MPH (Maximal Plot Height),
DT<75%recorded on the 11 lines. Biplot vectors are trait
factor loadings for PC1 and PC2.
