Dataset for seedling traits evaluated under salt stress in hexaploid spring wheat panel

Description

Dataset describes the performance of various seedling traits (such as shoot height, root length, tiller number, shoot weight, root weight, root length-by-shoot height, and root weight-by-shoot weight) evaluated using irrigation water with electrical conductivity (ECiw) of 1.46 dSm-1 (for non-salt stress) and 14 dSm-1 (for salt stress).

Steps to reproduce

Based on the design and layout of the experiment, data were collected at seedling stage for various traits including such as shoot height, root length, tiller number, shoot weight, and root weight. Later, root and shoot traits were used to derive root length-by-shoot height, and root weight-by-shoot weight ratio traits. Then, we estimated best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP). BLUP values were used for correlation coefficient analysis and principal component analysis.
