| Canopy Height 40 DAS | quantitative | Canopy height measured in cm on each plot at three randomly selected points within the plot, from root shoulder to top of leaf canopy, 40 days after sowing |
| Canopy Height 80 DAS | quantitative | Canopy height measured in cm on each plot at three randomly selected points within the plot, from root shoulder to top of leaf canopy, 50 days after sowing |
| Canopy height at harvest | quantitative | Canopy height was measured just before harvest with three measurements taken per plot. |
| Carotenoid content | QTL | Concentration of carotenoids in the storage root |
| CarrotOmics Flowering Habit | qualitative | Qualitative scoring of flowering habit in one of the following categories: Annual (non-uniform)=Greater than 15% flowering plants within the plot at mid-season and greater than 85% flowering plants within the plot at end-of-season; Biennial=0% plants within plot flowering during the first growth season. Roots require vernalization to induce flowering in the second growth season; Mixture=Both annual (uniformly-early and uniformly-late) and biennial plants in various proportions (1% ≤ % bolting<85%) in the first season of growth. Annuals flower in the first growth season, while biennials’ roots require vernalization in order to flower in the second season of growth.; Predominantly Biennial=Type of mixture. Greater than 0% and less than 15% flowering plants in the plot at end of season. Annuals flower in the first growth season, while biennials’ roots require vernalization in order to flower in the second season of growth; Uniformly-Early Annual=During the first growth season, estimated greater than 85% of plants flowering within the plot 60 days after sowing; Uniformly-Late Annual=During the first growth season, estimated greater than 85% of plants flowering within the plot 100 days after sowing |
| Celery annual habit | MTL | Backcross segregations demonstrate that annual habit in celery is partially dominant over biennial and determined by a single gene designated Hb |
| Celery fusarium yellows resistance | MTL | Resistance estimated on a scale from 1 to 5: 1, no discoloration in the vascular crown or primary roots, healthy plants; 2, slight discoloration in the crown and no discoloration in the primary roots, normal plant growth; 3, medium to severe discoloration in the entire crown and many of the primary roots, retarded plant growth; 4, rot in the crown and primary roots, small yellow plants; 5, dead plants. Plants rated 1 or 2 were considered to be resistant, and those rated 3, 4, or 5 were considered to be susceptible. |
| Celery purple petiole | MTL | Dominant A (red petiole) and recessive a (green petiole) |
| compressed lamina | MTL | compact small leaves; female organs reveal a slight, but unique difference of the ovary position that changes from an inferior position (epigynous flower type) to a rather superior position (hypogynous flower type) |
