Data from: Artificial selection on anther exsertion in wild radish, Raphanus raphanistrum

Artificial selection on anther exsertion was applied for 11 generations. Two replicate lines for each of increased and decreased exsertion, as well as two randomly-mated controls, were included. Full pedigree information is available starting at generation five. To test for correlated responses to selection, after five or six generations of selection, 571 plants from all lines and matrilines were grown in the green house and a number of floral, growth, and phenology traits were measured. To create an outbred F2 mapping population, all possible crosses among the two high and two low exsertion lines were made, using a multiple-family design to capture the genetic variance still present after 10 generations of selection. The 11th generation of selection was performed on these parental populations, and six floral traits were measured on 4868 F2 offspring. Opportunities for reuse of these data include traits not previously analyzed, other analyses, especially using the pedigree and fitness data, and seeds from all generations and photos of flowers in the later generations are available.
