Datasets for microsatellite genotype for natural populations and seedlings from six mother trees, and seedling survival and growth records

To assess genetic factors that affect the fitness of seedlings of Rubroshorea curtisii, a dominant canopy tree species in hill dipterocarp forests, the inter- and intra-population genetic structure of individuals with reproductive stage and, survival rate and seedling growth performance in relation to the bi-parental genetic relationship were studied. A Bayesian based clustering analysis revealed that three genetically distinct clusters were observed in almost all populations throughout the distributional range of the species in Malay Peninsula and provided the optimum explanation for the genetic structure of 182 mature individuals in two permanent plots in a hill dipterocarp forest. The two clusters showed larger genetic differentiation from the ancestral admixture population, but the other one was not differentiated. A total of 460 seedlings derived from six mother trees in the plot were raised in a nursery, and their pollen donors were identified using genetic marker based paternity ..., Leaf or inner bark tissue was collected from 134 R. curtisii individuals, representing nine natural populations throughout the natural distribution across Malay Peninsula (Table 1, Fig 1). The tissues were collected from R. curtisii individuals that were at least 20 m apart, to avoid collecting samples from genetically related individuals, regardless of age or size of trees. Samples were stored at -20 ˚C, prior to DNA extraction. Semangkok Forest Reserve, a designated hill dipterocarp forest conservation area, is in and governed by the Selangor state; it is 60 km north of Kuala Lumpur, on the Malay Peninsula and is a designated hill dipterocarp forest conservation area. In 1993, Niiyama et al. (1999) established a 6-ha permanent plot (200 m × 300 m) in an undisturbed forest on a narrow ridge and steep slope, ranging from 340 to 450 m above sea level (3°37'07''N, 101°44'15''E). Another ca. 4-ha (100 m × 400 m) permanent plot was established within a selectively logged area of forest in 1..., , # Datasets for microsatellite genotype for natural populations and seedlings from six mother trees, and seedling survival and growth records

## Description of the data and file structure

Population Genotype Data Set: A csv file named \"ShoreaCurtisiiPopulationGenotypeSTRUCTURE.csv\" contains 10 microsatellite markers' genotypes from 163 Shorea curtisii DNAs collected from 9 natural populations in the Malay Peninsula. This csv file is optimized for the software \"STRUCTURE\", the first line shows names of microsatellite markers from Ujino et al. (1998), Lee, Tani, Ng, and Tsumura (2004), and Lee et al. (2006), then followed by genotype data of each individual. The first row shows individual names which represent the abbreviation of the population name on the left side of the under-bar and individual tag numbers on the right side of the under-bar. The abbreviation of the population name corresponds to Tani e...
