Data Sheet 4_Evaluating phenotypic plasticity of reproductive traits among Korean rice cul

A 2026 dataset from figshare by Joon Ki Hong assesses phenotypic plasticity in 100 Korean rice cultivars across three maturity groups. Measurements combine data from a controlled greenhouse environment and contrasting field conditions from a dry year (2018) and a wet year (2020). The analysis focuses on key reproductive traits like panicle length and seed number to understand environmental influences on yield potential.

Use Cases

• Modeling genotype-by-environment interactions based on panicle length and seed number measurements.
• Predicting yield stability under variable rainfall conditions using trait data from dry and wet field years.
• Classifying rice cultivars by environmental sensitivity based on maturity group and trait plasticity patterns.
• Benchmarking controlled environment (PMAG) data against field observations for trait expression.

Strengths

• Includes data from 100 distinct Korean rice cultivars representing three maturity groups.
• Combines measurements from a precision-controlled greenhouse with field data from two contrasting climatic years (2018, 2020).
• Specific trait ranges are provided, such as panicle length 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 (593.7 KB), which may require extraction to access structured data.
