Genome-Wide Association Study for Salinity Tolerance in 313 Wheat Genotypes

B. Jagadhesan's study on figshare, last updated April 22, 2026, presents genomic data from an association study on bread wheat. The dataset likely contains results from assessing 313 wheat genotypes under salinity stress, identifying 24,968 polymorphic SNPs and 24 quantitative trait nucleotides linked to three salt tolerance traits.

Use Cases

• Marker-assisted breeding for salt-tolerant wheat cultivars based on identified SNPs and QTNs.
• Gene ontology analysis for candidate genes involved in ion transport and stress signaling.
• Comparative genomic studies on salinity stress response mechanisms in cereals.

Strengths

• Includes data from 313 genetically diverse wheat genotypes.
• Identifies 24 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) associated with three specific salt tolerance traits.
• Genotyping produced 24,968 polymorphic SNPs for analysis.

Limitations

• Dataset is small (55.2 KB), suggesting limited raw data or summary results only.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
