Table 1 Phenotypic correlation coefficients (r) among traits evaluated in the RILs under low-P condition in nutrient solution

From: Multiple interval QTL mapping and searching for PSTOL1 homologs associated with root morphology, biomass accumulation and phosphorus content in maize seedlings under low-P

Traits	RL	SA2	RD	R:S	TDW	Pcont
SA	0.98**	0.80**	−0.48**	−0.38**	0.86**	0.39**
RL		0.69**	−0.62**	−0.38**	0.79**	0.31**
SA2			0.03	−0.29**	0.77**	0.48**
RD				0.26**	−0.25**	0.14
R:S					−0.43**	−0.02
TDW						0.58**

Traits: root surface area (SA), root length (RL), surface area of fine roots (SA2), root diameter (RD), root:shoot dry weight ratio (R:S), total seedling dry weight (TDW), and total P content (Pcont)
Correlation coefficients followed by ** are significant at p < 0.01
