Data and Publications from the Illinois long-term selection experiment for oil and protein in corn

This collection contains the data files and, where copyright allows, the published research for the Illinois long-term selection experiment for oil and protein in corn. Also included is a read me file and a list of all refereed publications resulting from this research.

The data files included here are:

• Means by year and generation of the oil and protein concentration measured each year (1896-2004) : This file contains the means by year and generation of the oil and protein concentration measured each year during the experiment. Also included are the generation numbers for each strain.


• Raw data from each ear analyzed each year of the Illinois long-term selection experiment for oil and protein in corn 1896-2004) : This file contains the data from each ear analyzed each year of the experiment. These are the raw data from the experiment.


• Number of ears analyzed, the number of ears saved, and the selection differentials for the forward selection strains (1896-2004) : This file contains the number of ears analyzed, the number of ears saved, and the selection differentials for the forward selection strains (IHP, ILP, IHO, and ILO).


• Number of ears analyzed, the number of ears saved, and the selection differentials for the reverse strains (1947-2004) : This file contains the number of ears analyzed, the number of ears saved, and the selection differentials for the reverse strains (RHP, RLP, RLP2, RHO, RLO, and SHO.


• Values obtained for protein in the strains selected for oil and the values for oil obtained for the strains selected for protein each generation (1896-2004) : This file contains values obtained for protein in the strains selected for oil (IHO, ILO, etc.) and the values for oil obtained for the strains selected for protein (IHP, ILP, etc.) each generation.
