Phenotypes
Download the latest public “flat file” versions of prepackaged phenotypic data sets.
This project has collected and released phenotypic data for numerous agronomic, developmental, and domestication-related traits collected in the maize 282 or Ames inbred association panels, the NAM population, or custom teosinte-maize populations.
Maize 282 association panel phenotypes (± NAM)
Phenotypes for either our "Maize 282" association panel alone, or the 282 and NAM panel combined.
