Correlation of some of agro - morphological and physiological traits in maize inbred lines developed in Konya conditions

The trial was conducted at Research and Application area of Selcuk University Agriculture Faculty during 2013 growing season. The seeds of 31 dent corn lines were used as materials and 12 agro – morphological and physiological traits were investigated. All correlation combinations among the traits were calculated. According to the results very significant correlations were detected among first ear height × photosynthetic efficiency (0.64**), leaf area × leaf angle (0.57**), and significant correlations among leaf area × first ear height (0.32*), leaf number × first ear height (0.32*), leaf area × photosynthetic efficiency (0.29*), leaf area × malondialdehyde (0.28*) and leaf area × chlorophyll content (0.26*) traits. According to the results of the study it was observed that one of the characters with significant correlations can give knowledge to researchers about other correlated properties so more information can be produced with lower time and labour
