BMC Genomics

Table 3 Pearson correlation values among all traits – weight (g), height-A (cm), diameter-D (cm), A/D ratio, peel thickness (cm), number of segments, number of seeds, ease of peeling, juice content (%), total titratable acidity (TTA, %), total soluble solids (TSS), TSS/TTA ratio, technological index (TI) and number of fruits per box in the F₁ progeny of Murcott tangor and Pera sweet orange
