Dataset of phenotyping recombinant inbred lines population of wheat under heat stress conditions

Heat stress is a genetically complex and physiologically diverse phenomenon. To overcome the effect of heat stress identification of genomic locations associated with heat stress tolerance is essential. This article provides the dataset of phenotyping used in the research article entitled “Mapping QTLs for grain yield components in wheat under heat stress”. The presented data included the phenotyping of the 249 RIL population of F8 and F9 generations under timely and late sown conditions during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 crop seasons, respectively. The RIL population was derived from the cross between HUW510 and HD2808 wheat genotypes. A total of eight agronomic traits were subjected to phenotype and the heat susceptibility index (HSI) of these traits was estimated to identify the effect of heat stress on the parents and RIL population. The presented dataset could be utilized to understand the genetic basis for heat stress tolerance in wheat.
