Description
|
Data obtained from the daughter cladodes produced from Opuntia robusta in greenhouses.
The variables measured throughout the experiment were the length (cm), width (cm) and thickness (cm) of each cladode produced.
These variables were measured every 30 days.
The mother cladodes were identified using their sexual form with a total of 12 males and 12 females colonized with AMF, in addition to 5 females and 5 control males (without AMF).
At the end of the experiment, we harvested (7 males and 7 females colonized; 5 males and 5 females control); we analyzed the number of roots, thickness and length.
In addition, the total number of daughter cladodes produced was counted, and each individual cladode of each plant harvested was weighed.
With the data obtained from the daughter cladodes, the total photosynthetic area was calculated by applying the formula:
pi × length/2 × width/2 × thickness.
For the volume, the formula was applied:
the value of the photosynthetic area * the thickness.
For the density we applied the formula: (mass/weight* gravity)/ cladode volume.
ID used in the database
M8-1-3: the first letter is the sexual form (F: Female; M: male).
the first number indicates the mother cladode, the second number indicates the number of daughter cladodes produced (first level) and the third number indicates the clade produced by the daughter cladode (second level).
AMF = arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi |
