Nomenclature and translations
This provides some information to decode the various Tool Kit Lines
| Acronym | Name | Units | Description |
| ADTT | Thermal time to anthesis | Days | Thermal temperature of 50 percentage shoots reaching GS61. |
| AGDM | Aboveground dry matter at harvest | g/sqm | Gram (aboveground dry mass) per square meter (ground) at harvest |
| COMGRWT | Combine grain weight | g | Combine grain weight - used to calculate yield |
| COMSTR | Combine straw weight | g | Combine straw weight - used to calculate straw yield |
| DTAD | Days to anthesis | Days | The number of days required for the first visible emergence of anthers. |
| DTEM | Days to Ear emergence | Days | The number of days required for 50% of the ear to be visible. |
| DTMA | Days to maturity | Days | The number of days until maturity. |
| EM | Ear emergence date | Date | The date when in half of the plot half of the ear has emerged from the flag leaf of the plant. This is a way to measure flowering time or heading date. |
| GFP | Grain filling period | Days | Average duration of the grain filling period or duration (anthesis to physiological maturity). |
| GFPTT | Grain filling Dday period | Days | TT of grain filling period or duration (anthesis to physiological maturity). |
| GFR | Grain filling rate | g/day | Average rate of grain filling per day. |
| GRYLD | Grain yield | t/ha | The grain yield, measured in tonnes per hectare. |
| GW | grain width | mm | width of grain from MARVIN screen |
| HT | Plant height | cm | The actual measurement of plant height from soil surface to the highest point in plant as identified in the study in centimeters. |
| LODG | lodging | arbitrary | A measurement of the degree of lodging of the plants on a scale from 0 - 5 (0 = no lodging, 5 = 100percent lodging) |
| MATU | maturity | arbitrary | Overall maturity of the plant scored as early, moderate or late (e,m,l) |
| MILDS | mildew disease score | arbitrary | A measurement of the degree of disease on the leaves or of the plant on a scale from 0 - 10 (0 = 0% of leaf area diseased, 10 = 100% diseased) |
| NDRE | NDRE | % | NDRE a refinement of NDVI gives a more accurate estimate of N uptake. |
| NDVI | Normalised difference vegetative index | % | Normalised difference vegetative index |
SeedStor database description
The example below shows how the SeedStor Accession names have been formed from the experimental information. For the line WL0019 which indicates a Wheat line from the Landrace subcollection the accession name PW141-7-6-18-Q7B-HT-W (2016) shows the following etymology:
| Segment | meaning |
| PW | Paragon x Watkins |
| 141 | Landrace accession (1190141) |
| 7 | Population line number used in development |
| 6 | original plant ID |
| 18 | final plant selection |
| Q7B | QTL Chromosome 7B |
| HT | Height trait |
| W | Watkins allele final selection (P=Paragon) |
| 2016 | Year of field production |
