2b-GrainYield_components_BLUEs_level.tab

This file contains the genotypic means (Best Linear Unbiased Estimation, BLUEs), with one value per experiment (Location × year × water regime) per genotype. It contains 6 columns of identification of experiments and genotypes: «Experiment»: experiments ID described by the three first letters of the city’s name followed by the year of experiment and the water regime with W for watered and R for rain-fed. «parent1», «Code_ID», «Variety_ID», «Accession_ID»: four genotype ID described in file «8-Info_Maize_variety». «geno.panel»: project in which the genetic material was generated. It also contains eight columns with the genotypic means for eight traits: «grain.yield»: yield adjusted at 15% grain moisture, in ton per hectare (t ha-1). «grain.number»: number of grain per square meter. «grain.weight»: individual grain weight (mg). «anthesis»: male flowering (pollen shed), in thermal time cumulated since emergence (d20°C). «silking»: female flowering (silking emergence), in thermal time cumulated since emergence (d20°C). «plant.height»: plant height, from ground level to the base of the flag leaf (highest) leaf (cm). «tassel.height»: plant height including tassel, from ground level to the highest point of the tassel (cm). «ear.height»: ear insertion height, from ground level to ligule of the highest ear leaf (cm).
