Correlation Study on Flowering Characters of Phalaenopsis aphrodite of Different Sizes
Using"16136"as the test material,the flowering characteristics of 8.3 and 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite were investigated.Ex-cel 2016 was used for data sorting and SPSS 19.0 was used for statistical analysis.The correlation between flowering characters of different sizes of Phalaenopsis aphrodite was studied in order to establish a standard for identification of appearance quality.The results showed that the differ-ences in flowering traits between 8.3 and 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite were extremely significant in terms of flower number,longitudinal di-ameter,pedicel length,and inflorescence length;the transverse diameter of 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite and the transverse diameter and number of flower stems of 8.3 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite were highly significant and significantly positively correlated,with correlation coeffi-cients of 0.3923∗∗ and 0.3005∗∗,respectively;the longitudinal diameter of the 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite was highly significantly and positively correlated with the transverse diameter and number of pedicels of the 8.3 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite,with correlation coefficients of 0.5434∗∗ and 0.3825∗∗,respectively;moreover,the transverse and longitudinal flower diameters of 8.3 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite had a negative effect on the number of 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite;the stem length and inflorescence length of 8.3 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite had a negative effect on the longitudinal diameter of 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite;the pedicel length and number of pedicels of 8.3 cm Phalae-nopsis aphrodite had a negative effect on the inflorescence length of 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite;the stem length,inflorescence length,and stem number of 8.3 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite had a positive effect on the number of flowers in 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite;the number of flowers,transverse diameter,inflorescence length,and number of pedicels of 8.3 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite had a positive effect on the inflo-rescence length of 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite,and the number of flowers had the greatest positive effect on inflorescence length;the num-ber of flowers and flower stems of 8.3 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite had a positive effect on the number of flower stems of 11.6 cm Phalaenopsis aphrodite.
