Ranking of genotype plot based on temperature of canopy


I am working on crop water stress monitoring. I have thermal images of different crop genotypes of same day. I would like to plot temperature values for genotypes as black and white horizontally spaced diagram as shown in image that shows black colour as higher temperature and white colour as low temperatures. Pleas help me. The link of the demo data for 20 genotypes is given below-

Demo Temperature data for 20 genotypes (First column is Genotype No., second column is min temp and third column is max temp.)

A similar figure from different study is attached herewith.

Rank of genotypes based on temperature values


Solution

  • This type of plots can be simply created using MS excel.

    Select the data arranged in 2D matrix, Insert (on the main Excel bar), Chart, Surface, contour. If it defaults to the wrong sort of surface chart, click on Change chart type, surface, contour.
