Recommended citation for this dataset: Dutta A, Croll D, McDonald BA, Barrett LG. Maintenance of variation in virulence and reproduction in populations of an agricultural plant pathogen. Evol App. 2020;00:1-13. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13117 DATA & FILE OVERVIEW 1. File List: A single .csv file containing data on pathogen virulence measured as percent leaf area covered by lesion and reproduction as the pycnidial density per square centimetre of lesion. Wheat-Zymoseptoria tritici interaction was used to collect the dataset. A set of 145 fungal isolates from five global populations and 12 wheat hosts (five landraces, six commercial varieties and one backcross line) were used in the experiment. The experiment was replicated 3 times. Measures of virulence and reproduction were obtained from infected second leaf between 19 to 26 days post inoculation. 2. Are there multiple versions of the dataset? yes/no A. NO METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Method for data collection, experimental design are described in "Maintenance of variation in virulence and reproduction in populations of an agricultural plant pathogen". https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13117 2. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: R-studio (any recent version) or Microsoft Excel. 3. Environmental/experimental conditions: Greenhouse conditions with 22 degrees (day) and 18 degrees (night) temperature, 70% relative humidity and 16-hours photoperiod.
