Phenotyping of chickpea genotypes for resistance to P. thornei, 2015-2018

This dataset contains five separate experiments conducted between 2015 and 2018 that phenotyped chickpea genotypes for their resistance to the root-lesion nematode (P. thornei). All experiments were grown in glasshouses located at the Leslie Research Facility, Toowoomba Qld using the methods described by Thompson et al. (2020) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31680650. The primary data metric is P. thornei/kg of oven-dry soil and root (PTKG) with supporting metrics: tiller number (Tiller), plant height in cm (Height), plant maturity on BBCH scale (Mat_BBCH), plant maturity on Zadoks scale (Mat_Zadoks), plant top dry weight in grams (TDWT), soil moisture content per cent (SMC) and trial notes. Environmental/Experimental Conditions: Air and soil temperature: 20–25°C Bottom watering system: 2 cm tension. Data file: "Sheedy USQ chickpea Pratylenchus thornei resistance data 2015_23 standardised for GRDC.csv" Content: Standardised raw data from glasshouse experiments assessing chickpea resistance to P. thornei. Processing: Data compiled using Microsoft 365 Copilot GPT-4 Turbo. Quality assurance: CV and heritability calculated; genotype rankings validated. Standards: Resistance standard genotypes included. Principal variable: PTKG = P. thornei per kg oven-dry soil and roots (loge(x) transformed). Other variables: UID, Exp, Year, Orig_Genotype, Exp_UID, Col, Row, Block, TRT, Genotype, Crop, Tiller, Height (cm), Mat_BBCH, Mat_Zadoks, TDWT (g), SMC (%). Missing codes: NA
