Phenotypic Plasticity of Reproductive Traits in 100 Korean Rice Cultivars

A dataset combining measurements from a controlled greenhouse and two contrasting field environments (2018 and 2020) for 100 Korean rice cultivars. The data, created by Joon Ki Hong and last updated in March 2026, assesses plasticity in traits like panicle length and seed number across three maturity groups under varying climatic conditions.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between climatic factors and panicle length based on multi-environment measurements.
• Comparing yield potential across maturity groups using total seed number data.
• Assessing environmental sensitivity and buffering capacity of rice genotypes under dry and wet field conditions.
• Developing predictive frameworks for crop adaptability using Z-score standardized trait distributions.

Strengths

• Includes data from 100 distinct Korean rice cultivars.
• Combines precision-controlled greenhouse data with field data from two contrasting climatic years (2018 and 2020).
• Analyzes three distinct maturity groups, enabling comparative study.
• Provides specific trait measurements, such as panicle length ranging from 17.99 cm to 22.10 cm.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a PDF (319.3 KB), which may require extraction to a structured format for analysis.
