Analysis of correlations and path effects for popping expansion in popcorn ( Zea mays var. everta Sturt.) [PDF]
Correlation and path analysis involving 35 genotypes of popcorn (Zea mays var. everta Sturt.) indicated thatdegree of popping alone exhibited positive association with popping expansion. The path analysis revealed thatcob weight showed very high positive
