Heritability of Architectural Traits in a Rubber Tree F1 Population

10 architectural variables for Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) clones, including height, girth, and branch counts, with calculated broad-sense heritability (H²) values. The dataset was authored by Nur Eko Prasetyo and last updated on March 17, 2026. It is a 5.5 KB Excel file licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Estimate genetic gain for tree straightness (STRAIGH) in breeding selections.
• Model relationships between girth of stem (GIRTH) and estimated bole volume (EBV).
• Analyze the heritability of crown architecture based on type of crown (TYCRO) and axillary branch traits.
• Prioritize selection criteria for apical dominance using number of apical shoots (APNUM) and terminal branches (BRCHTRM).

Strengths

• Dataset focuses on 10 specific architectural traits with heritability estimates.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• File size is 5.5 KB, ensuring quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
