Fig. 2From: Genome-wide association analysis uncovers the genetic architecture of tradeoff between flowering date and yield components in sesameMultivariate analysis of the measured traits. (A) Principal component (PC) analysis of phenotypic traits of the combined data (2018 and 2020). Each dot represents one genotype. (B) K-means clustering analysis of the primary traits. Y-axis is the centered and scaled values for each trait and the lines are the cluster means with their confidence intervals. Clusters 1 (Green), 2, (Blue), and 3 (red) were estimated using the K-means clustering analysis. The traits included Flowering date (FD), height to the first capsule (HTFC), plant height (PH), number of branches per plant (NBPP), reproductive index (RI), seed-yield per plant (SYPP), seed number per plant (SNPP), and thousand-seed weight (TSW)Back to article page
