Phenotypic Plasticity of Reproductive Traits in 100 Korean Rice Cultivars

100 Korean rice cultivars from three maturity groups were assessed for phenotypic plasticity of reproductive traits like panicle length and seed number. Measurements were taken in a controlled greenhouse environment and in contrasting field conditions during a dry year (2018) and a wet year (2020). The dataset was created by Joon Ki Hong and last updated on March 19, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between climatic conditions and panicle length based on multi-environment measurements.
• Comparing yield potential across maturity groups using total seed number data.
• Analyzing environmental sensitivity of early-maturing genotypes versus buffering capacity of later-maturing groups.
• Developing predictive frameworks for crop adaptability using Z-score standardized trait distributions.

Strengths

• Includes 100 distinct Korean rice cultivars.
• Combines data from a controlled greenhouse environment with two contrasting field environments (2018 and 2020).
• Analyzes specific reproductive traits like panicle length, with values 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 dataset is small at 20.2 KB, indicating limited scope.
