SAMs: Boundary Data of Shoot Apical Meristems

In biogeom: Biological Geometries

Boundary Data of Shoot Apical Meristems

Description

The data consist of the boundary data of the shoot apical meristems (SAMs) from six genera.

Usage

data(SAMs)

Details

In the data set, there are three columns of variables: Genus, x, and y. Genus saves the genus information for each SAM; x saves the x coordinates of the six SAMs in the Cartesian coordinate system (unitless); and y saves the y coordinates of the six SAMs in the Cartesian coordinate system (unitless). In Genus, there are six genera including Glycine, Coleus, Juniperus, Pinus, Equisetum, and Isoetes, spanning the three lineages: angiosperms, gymnosperms, and pteridophytes.
