Variability of the structure of correlations between the morphological and commercial traits of soybeans with different growth habit and branching characters by M. O. Burlyaeva, N. S. Rostova

“…A comparison of the level (R2, coefficient of determination) and  structure of correlations in different  years has  shown  that  the  deterioration of external conditions is followed by an increase  in the strength of relationships (R2) between the traits and in the difference between correlation   matrices’ structure. Soybean  adaptation to  the  changing  conditions occurs  due  to  the rearrangements of relationship systems, whereas  the  degree and direction  of these  changes are determined by the  growing  conditions and  specificity of the  accessions  response. …”
