Functional traits of <em>Turnera velutina</em> to estimate the plasticity of phenotypic integration

Database used to estimate the phenotypic integration of maternal families of <em>Turnera velutina</em> plants under two light environments. <br> The database contains information for 12 maternal families and 260 individuals in which functional traits were measured while exposed to two light treatments: T65, in which plants received 65% of total sunlight, and T50 in which the light availability was 50%. T50 is considered the light environment in which plants typically grow in their natural environment. <br> <strong>The database contains the following traits:</strong> <br> ID: Consecutive number for plants in the database, unique for each plant. LOCATION: Number 1 to 5, indicates the experimental plot wich the plants were stablished at the beggining of the experiment. TREATMENT: Light availability treatment. T65 indicates availability of 65% of sun light while T50 indicates that light was reduced at 50%. The treatments were obtained using an exclosure of shade mesh. FAMILY: Maternal family. All plants were obteined throughtout self-pollination of plants of maternal families in which levels of phenotypic integration were estimated and reported previously (Damián et al. 2019) INDIVIDUAL: Individual plant for each maternal family. There were between 40-50 plants per family, asigned between both light treatments. N_LEAVES: The total numer of leaves sampled on each plant. We only selected apical leaves, fully developed. <br> <strong>Functional traits</strong> LMA: Leaf mass per area HCN_content: Hydrogen cyanide content. The average value obtained in the sampled leaves. TRICHOME_DENSITY: The number of trichomes per milimeter square estimated in two fields of 14 mm² CHLOROPHYLL_CONTENT: Chlorophyll content estimated in four points in the leaf with the CCM-200 (Opti-Sciences), and then expressed as g/cm² of chlorophyll using the equation in Damián et al. (2018) NITROGEN_CONTENT: Average value of leaf nitrogen content measured in two samples analyzed by mass spectrometry. CN_RATIO: The ratio between carbon and nitrogen, measured in two samples analyzed by mass spectrometry. C13_CONTENT: δ13C content measured in two samples analyzed by mass spectrometry. HEIGHT: Length of the longest branch of each plant. It was used as covariable in the estimation of phenotypic integration in the Package PHENIX (Torices &amp; Muñoz-Pajares) <br> Two samples were analyzed by mass spectrometry <br>
