Phenotyping of wheat genotypes for resistance to P. neglectus, 2017-2021

This dataset contains five separate experiments conducted between 2017 and 2021 that phenotype wheat genotypes for their resistance to the root-lesion nematode (P. neglectus). Experiments conducted during 2017-2018 were grown in glasshouses located at the Leslie Research Facility, Toowoomba QLD, and experiments conducted during 2019-2021 at UniSQ, Toowoomba QLD using the methods described by Thompson et al. (2020) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31680650. One experiment, namely 2018x04, includes genotypes from project DAQ00188 (NVT), experiment 2019x07 includes genotypes from project USQ1907-002SAX (NVT) and experiment 2021x14 includes genotypes from projects USQ1907-002SAX (NVT) and USQ1033852020V01 (CAIGE). The primary data metric is P. neglectus/kg of oven-dry soil and root (PNKG) with supporting metrics: tiller number (Tiller), plant height in cm (Height), plant maturity on Zadoks scale (Maturity), 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 wheat Pratylenchus neglectus resistance data 2001_24 standardised for GRDC.csv". Content: Standardised raw data from glasshouse experiments assessing wheat resistance to P. neglectus. Processing: Data compiled using Microsoft 365 Copilot GPT-4 Turbo. Quality assurance: CV and heritability calculated; genotype rankings validated. Standards: Resistance standard genotypes included.
