    • Figure 1. 

      The proportion of variance components of different effects for each trait.

    • Figure 2. 

      The analysis of phenotypic and genetic correlation within and among various traits. The upper triangular matrix displays phenotypic correlation, while the lower triangular matrix represents the genetic correlation results. AP, BP, AA, and LA represent Alpha-pinene, Beta-pinene, Abietic acid, and Levopimaric acid, respectively.
