Arabidopsis clipping/fertilization data

Description

Data on genetic variation in responses to fertilization and simulated herbivory in Arabidopsis

Usage

data("Arabidopsis")

Format

A data frame with 625 observations on the following 8 variables.

reg

region: a factor with 3 levels NL (Netherlands), SP (Spain), SW (Sweden)

popu

population: a factor with the form n.R representing a population in region R

gen

genotype: a factor with 24 (numeric-valued) levels

rack

a nuisance factor with 2 levels, one for each of two greenhouse racks

nutrient

fertilization treatment/nutrient level (1, minimal nutrients or 8, added nutrients)

amd

simulated herbivory or "clipping" (apical meristem damage): unclipped (baseline) or clipped

status

a nuisance factor for germination method (Normal, Petri.Plate, or Transplant)

total.fruits

total fruit set per plant (integer)
