Data and code from: The Impacts of Parental Choice and Intrapopulation Selection for Seed Size on the Uprightness of Progeny Derived from Interspecific Hybridization between Glycine max and Glycine soja

Metadata Updated: December 2, 2025

This dataset contains all data and code necessary to reproduce the analysis described under the heading "Experiment 3" in the manuscript:

Taliercio, E., Eickholt, D., Read, Q. D., Carter, T., Waldeck, N., & Fallen, B. (2023). Parental choice and seed size impact the uprightness of progeny from interspecific Glycine hybridizations. Crop Science. https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.21015

The attached files are:

  • G_max_G_soja_seedweight_seedcolor_analysis.Rmd: RMarkdown notebook containing all analysis code. The CSV data files should be placed in a subdirectory called data within the working directory from which the notebook is rendered.

  • G_max_G_soja_seedweight_seedcolor_analysis.html: Rendered HTML output from RMarkdown notebook, including figures, tables, and explanatory text.

  • counts_seedwt.csv: CSV file containing the number of progeny selected and average 100-seed weight data for each combination of cross, size class, and replicate. Columns are:

    • F3_location: text identifier of F3 nursery location, either "CLA" or "FF"
    • plot: numeric ID of plot
    • pop: numeric ID of population
    • max: name of G. max parent
    • soja: name of G. soja parent
    • F2_location: text identifier of F2 nursery location, either "Caswell" or "Hugo"
    • n_planted: number of seeds planted (raw)
    • n_selected: number of progeny selected
    • size_ordered: seed size class, to be converted to an ordered factor
    • size_combined: seed size class aggregated to fewer unique levels
    • ave_100sw: average 100-seed weight for the given size class
    • n_planted_trials: number of seeds planted rounded to nearest integer
  • seedcolor.csv: CSV file with additional data on number of seeds of each color by population. Columns are:

    • cross: text identifier of cross
    • line: text identifier of line
    • light: number of light seeds
    • mid: number of mid-green seeds
    • brown: number of brown seeds
    • dark: number of dark or black seeds
    • population: identifier of population type (F2 derived or selected)
    • max: name of G. max parent
    • n_total: sum of the light, mid, brown, and dark columns
    • soja: name of G. soja parent

The data processing and analysis pipeline in the RMarkdown notebook includes:

  • Importing the data (slightly cleaned version is provided)
  • Creating boxplots of proportion selected by cross, nursery location, and size class
  • Fitting logistic GLMM to estimate the probability of selection as a function of parent, 100-seed weight, and their interactions
  • Extracting and plotting random effect estimates from model
  • Calculating and plotting estimated marginal means from model
  • Taking contrasts between pairs of estimated marginal means and trends
  • Calculating Bayes Factors associated with the contrasts
  • Generating figures and tables for all above results
  • Additional seed color analysis: importing data (slightly cleaned version is provided)
  • Additional seed color analysis: drawing exploratory bar plot
  • Additional seed color analysis: fitting multinomial GLM modeling the proportion of seeds with each color as a function of population
  • Additional seed color analysis: generating expected value predictions from GLM and taking contrasts
  • Additional seed color analysis: creating figures and tables for model results
