Table 2.
Traits analyzed in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for a panel of 470 Oryza sativa accessions, composed of rice diversity panel 1 (RDP1, n = 379) (Eizenga et al., 2014) and the aus subset (n = 91) of the 3,000 rice genome project (Li et al., 2014a).
Trait | Abbreviations | Experiment(s) with trait | Descriptions and notes |
---|---|---|---|
Emergence (%) | Emerg | Field | |
Speed of emergence | SOE | Field | where S1, S2, and Sn are the total number of emerged seedlings time t1, t2, and tn corresponding to the days after sowing when emergence count was taken. T represents the total number of counting days (Simon et al., 2012). |
Shoot dry weight (g) | SDW | Field | Roots and shoots separated by cutting at scutellar node using four-week-old seedlings. The dry weight was recorded on oven-dried (80°C for 72 h) shoot samples. |
Mesocotyl length (cm) | ML | Field, test tube | Length of the axis between the scutellar node and coleoptile node, also described as the first internode. ML was measured on four-week-old seedlings. |
Traits were measured in a field trial at Los Baños, Philippines in which seeds were planted at 2 or 8 cm deep (control and stress, respectively), or in a test tube experiment after five days of incubation in the dark at 30°C in a controlled environment chamber.
