Supporting Data for "Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) pod dimension under varying assimilate availability"

This dataset contains the raw and processed data supporting the manuscript "Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) pod dimension under varying assimilate availability".This study investigated soybean pod dimensions and seed growth responses to source-sink manipulation. Two independent field experiments were conducted during 2023 and 2024 soybean growing seasons at the Harold R. Benson Research and Demonstration Farm, Kentucky State University, Frankfort, Kentucky, USA.In the year 2023, assimilate was increased via depodding treatments, and in the year 2024, assimilate was decreased via. defoliation treatments. Because treatment structures differed between years, the two experiments were analyzed separately.The deposited files contains the raw experimental observations used for the analyses reported in the manuscript, includes treatment (trt), replication (rep), sampling information, and all the observations used to evaluate pod dimensions [pod length (pl or pl_1), pod width (pw or pwd_1), pod volume (pod_vol)], pod and seed measurements (pod weight, unit pod weight, seed weight, unit seed weight), growth stages including (R1, R2, R3, R5, Week days after R5 stage, R6, R7, R8 stages), and other yield related parameters reported in the manuscript.
