Abstract

SummaryPhenotypic correlations between pairs of characters in carrots were partitioned into genotypic and environmental components. In a set of quality characters, correlations of opposite sign were found for some genotypic and environmental items and negative genotypic correlations occurred between some of the characters. Uniformity of size and shape, as measured by coefficients of variation, were generally positively correlated both genotypically and environmentally. The consequence of such association between characters is discussed in relation to selection procedures in carrots.
