Correlogram for fiber quality traits in F₁s and Parents of upland cotton. The density distribution of each variable for F₁s and Parents is shown at diagonal with distinct colors (blue: F₁s, orange: Parents). On the lower side, the bivariate scatter plots are displayed while on the upper side, the values along with significance (*) of correlation coefficients for variables of F1 s and Parents are presented. Boxplots illustrating the variability among individuals of parents and offsprings. The central box represents the middle half data lengthening from upper to lower quartile while the horizontal line is located at median. The ends point of vertical projections specify maximum and minimum data points, unless the presence of outliers. Solid dots at upper and lower sides represents outliers. The bottom most rows depicted frequency distribution of each variable for F₁s and Parents
