Correlation analysis Significant or extremely significant linear positive correlations were observed between rice yield and the number of productive panicles ( P < 0.05), thousand grain weight ( P < 0.01), total biomass ( P < 0.01), harvest index ( P < 0.01), post-heading dry matter ( P < 0.01), grain nitrogen uptake ( P < 0.01), grain phosphorus uptake ( P < 0.01), internal nitrogen use efficiency ( P < 0.01), and internal phosphorus use efficiency ( P < 0.01).
