Table 7_Evaluating phenotypic plasticity of reproductive traits among Korean rice cultivar

100 Korean rice cultivars from three maturity groups were assessed for phenotypic plasticity in key reproductive traits. Measurements combine data from a precision-controlled greenhouse and contrasting field environments from a dry year (2018) and a wet year (2020). The dataset, created by Joon Ki Hong and last updated in March 2026, uses Z-score standardization and kernel density estimation to analyze environmental influences on traits like panicle length and seed number.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of climatic variability on panicle length and seed number based on multi-environment trait measurements.
• Comparing environmental sensitivity and buffering capacity among early-, medium-, and late-maturing rice genotypes.
• Developing predictive frameworks for crop yield under diverse rainfall and controlled environment conditions.
• Informing breeding strategies for climate resilience by analyzing trait distribution shifts across maturity groups.

Strengths

• Includes data from 100 distinct Korean rice cultivars representing three maturity groups.
• Combines measurements from a controlled greenhouse environment with two contrasting field environments (2018 dry year, 2020 wet year).
• Provides specific trait measurements, such as panicle length ranging from 17.99 cm to 22.10 cm across groups and conditions.

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 (12.0 KB), indicating a limited scope of raw data.
