Genetic variation of morpho-physiological traits in an apple core collection

<p>Dataset used for the preparation of the manuscript “Genetic variation of morphological traits and transpiration in an apple core collection under well-watered conditions: towards the identification of morphotypes with high water use efficiency”</p> <p>The dataset presented includes information for morphological and physiological traits for 183 genotypes of an INRA apple core collection. This collection was grown under well-watered condition in the Phenoarch phenotyping platform in Montpellier (France). Trees were evaluated during the first year of growth after grafting them on M9 rootstock. A first file includes individual information for four plants for each genotype. A second file includes the Best Linear Unbiased Predictors (BLUP’s) of genetic values for each morpho-physiological trait and genotype. Mixed effect models taking into account the spatial heterogeneity within the phenotyping platform were used to estimate BLUPs values.</p
