Growth chamber reciprocal transplant dataset

Phenotypic plasticity can alter traits that are crucial to population establishment in a new environment, before adaptation can occur. How often phenotypic plasticity enables subsequent adaptive evolution is unknown, and examples of the phenomenon are limited. We investigated the hypothesis of plasticity-mediated persistence as a means of colonization of agricultural fields in one of the world’s worst weeds, Raphanus raphanistrum ssp. raphanistrum. Using non-weedy native populations of the same species and subspecies as a comparison, we tested for plasticity-mediated persistence in a growth chamber reciprocal transplant experiment. We identified traits with genetic differentiation between the weedy and native ecotypes as well as phenotypic plasticity between growth chamber environments. We found that most traits were both plastic and differentiated between ecotypes, with the majority plastic and differentiated in the same direction. This suggests that phenotypic plasticity may have enab..., , , # Growth Chamber Reciprocal Transplant Dataset [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.4mw6m90kb](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.4mw6m90kb) This dataset contains the phenotypic data collected from plants grown in the growth chamber reciprocal transplant experiment, as well as the conditions in the growth chambers. ## Description of the data and file structure The dataset contains three sheets: \"Chamber Conditions\", \"Main Data\", and \"Leaf Data\" (although much of the information in \"Leaf Data\" has been incorporated into \"Main data\") ### Chamber Conditions This sheet contains the temperature and day length set points for each chamber each week. All temperature and day length information from the two weather stations used (LGER and KBTL) were collected from [www.wunderground.com](http://www.wunderground.com). Variables: * Granada, Spain (LGER) - the dates from which we collected temperature and day length information from the Grenada, Spain weather station (LGER) to simulate in the Winter An...表型可塑性（phenotypic plasticity）可在适应性演化发生前，改变新环境中种群建立所需的关键性状。目前学界尚不清楚表型可塑性在多大程度上能够促进后续的适应性演化，且该现象的实证案例较为匮乏。本研究以全球恶性杂草之一的野萝卜（Raphanus raphanistrum ssp. raphanistrum）为研究对象，验证「表型可塑性介导的种群存续可作为其农田定植策略」这一假说。研究选取同物种及同亚种的非杂草型野生种群作为对照，通过生长室互作移植实验（growth chamber reciprocal transplant experiment）检验了表型可塑性介导的种群存续能力。本研究鉴定出了杂草型与野生型生态型（ecotype）间存在遗传分化的性状，以及不同生长室环境下的表型可塑性性状。结果显示，多数性状同时具有可塑性且在两类生态型间存在分化，其中绝大多数性状的可塑性与分化方向保持一致。这表明表型可塑性可能具备…… # 生长室互作移植数据集（Growth Chamber Reciprocal Transplant Dataset） [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.4mw6m90kb](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.4mw6m90kb) 本数据集包含生长室互作移植实验中栽培植株的表型数据，以及各生长室的环境参数。 ## 数据与文件结构说明 本数据集包含三个工作表："Chamber Conditions"、"Main Data"与"Leaf Data"（尽管"Leaf Data"中的绝大多数信息已整合至"Main Data"中） ### 生长室环境条件（Chamber Conditions） 该工作表包含各生长室每周的温度与日照时长设定值。本研究所用的两处气象站（LGER与KBTL）的全部温度与日照时长数据均采集自[www.wunderground.com](http://www.wunderground.com)。 变量： * 西班牙格拉纳达（LGER）——本研究从西班牙格拉纳达气象站（LGER）采集温度与日照时长数据以模拟冬季……的日期
