Summary for 21 Arabidopsis traits.
| Traits | Full name of the trait | Unit | Trait description |
|---|---|---|---|
| RG | Days to root germination | day | The number of days from seeding until emergence, with more than half of the seedlings having a first radicle. |
| PR | Primary root length | cm | After 8 days of growth under the two treatment conditions, the plants were flattened directly on agar and imaged using a camera. The primary root lengths and lateral root number were determined across the median seedling using ImageJ. |
| LR | Lateral root number | ||
| SG | Days to seed germination | day | The number of days from seeding until emergence, with more than half of the seedlings having the first cotyledon. |
| EL | Epicotyl length | cm | After 8 days of growth under the two treatment conditions, the plants were flattened directly on agar and imaged using a camera. The epicotyl length and rosette width were determined across the median seedling using ImageJ. |
| RW | Rosette width | cm | |
| FW | Fresh weight of plants | mg | All fully-expanded seedlings without lesions were collected from each of 4 plants for each accession and weighed to obtain the fresh weight. The results are the average value across all available replicates. |
| K-A | The amount of potassium absorbed per plant | mg K/plant | Elemental analysis was performed with an ICP-MS (Agilent 7500a, USA). All samples were normalized to calculated weights as previously described. The ‘Nutrient absorption(A)’ was expressed as total amount of nutrient per plant; ‘Nutrient concentration (C)’ was calculated by total amount of nutrient per plant /plant fresh weight (FW). The results are the average value across all available replicates. |
| K-C | Potassium concentration per fresh weight | mg K/g (FW) | |
| Ca-A | The amount of calcium absorbed per plant | mg Ca/plant | |
| Ca-C | Calcium concentration per fresh weight | mg Ca/g (FW) | |
| Mg-A | The amount of magnesium absorbed per plant | mg Mg/plant | |
| Mg-C | Magnesium concentration per fresh weight | mg Mg/g (FW) | |
| S-A | The amount of sulfur absorbed per plant | mg S/plant | |
| S-C | Sulfur concentration per fresh weight | mg S/g (FW) | |
| Fe-A | The amount of iron absorbed per plant | mg Fe/plant | |
| Fe-C | Iron concentration per fresh weight | mg Fe/g (FW) | |
| Mn-A | The amount of manganese absorbed per plant | mg Mn/plant | |
| Mn-C | Manganese concentration per fresh weight | mg Mn/g (FW) | |
| Na-A | The amount of sodium absorbed per plant | mg Na/plant | |
| Na-C | Sodium concentration per fresh weight | mg Na/g (FW) |
