Abstract
SILVA, M.A. et al. Path analysis of morphologic characters of "Feijão-Bravo" (capparis flexuosa) in The Cariri Region of Paraiba State - Brazil. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2009, vol.58, n.221, pp.121-124. ISSN 1885-4494.
This work aimed to estimate correlation coefficients path analysis. It was studied the effect of the tiller number, stem diameter, stem length and leaf number of Capparis flexuosa plants during two evaluation periods in the Cariri region of Paraiba State, Brazil. Tiller number during the dry season and stem length during the rainy season explained best the leaf number, acting respectively in a direct and inversely proportional way on the main variable, changing according to the environmental conditions during the growth period. The results allowed the conclusion that tiller number exerts great influence on leaf number in both evaluation periods.
