Hierarchical clustering heatmap of kernel-related traits in pistachio genotypes. Traits include size, kernel yield, in-shell weight, shell thickness, split ratio, and kernel weight. The color scale represents standardized values (Z-scores), with red indicating higher and blue indicating lower trait values. Groups were classified based on similarity among genotypes.

Correlation matrix of nut and kernel traits in pistachio genotypes. The color and size of the circles represent the strength and direction of Pearson’s correlation coefficients among traits, including size, in-shell weight, split ratio, shell thickness, kernel yield, and kernel weight. Positive correlations are shown in blue and negative correlations in red.
