Quantitative disease resistance in wild Silene vulgaris to its endemic pathogen Microbotryum silenes-inflatae collection sites

Details presented on the collections sites of Silene vulgaris seeds from natural populations, for use in the study, Quantitative Disease Resistance in wild Silene vulgaris to its Endemic Pathogen Microbotryum silenes-inflatae.  In this study the seeds were collected a mixed half and full sibling families (seeds from the same maternal plants) and used to produce plants that were then cloned by vegetative cuttings.  The infection rates of these clones, as well as of their F1 offspring, by the fungus Microbotryum silenes-inflatae are also presented., Surveys of natural populations of Silene vulgaris identified sites of seed collection.  Data on the susceptibility to the fungal pathoge, Microbotryum silenes-inflatae, were collected from greenhouse experiments, including the susceptiblity of the field-collected seed genotypes based on growing the plants and producing multiple clones (by vegetative propogation) prior to inoculation (data show the proportion of clones that became diseased), and including susceptibility of F1 generation produced in the greenhouse from those genotypes and then inoculating the offspring (data showing the proportion of F1 offspring that became diseased).  Data presented are not transformed., , # Quantitative Disease Resistance in wild Silene vulgaris to its Endemic Pathogen Microbotryum silenes-inflatae Collection Sites

The data describe the collection sites and production of cloned offspring for the plant *Silene vulgaris*..

## Description of the data and file structure

The information is provided in three cvs tables, found on three files as untransformed data.

The first file (titled: Field Sites for Seed Collection) contains the plant families from collection sites identified by the corresponding names in the column \"field-collected family IDs\". The field-collected families each represent mixtures of full and half-sibling groups as the seeds collected from the same maternal plant. The family IDs were given alphanumeric, single character names ranging from A-Z and 0-9, where families with sufficient seeds were included in the current study. Seeds from these families, representing individual plant genotypes, were used to produce clones by vegetative propagation. In ...
