Plot Class

Description

An S4 Class to represent a breeDBase phenotyping trial plot

Details

The 'plot_name', 'accession_name', 'plot_number', and 'block_number' are required, all other fields are optional

Slots

plot_name: The unique name for the plot (must be unique across entire database. this is often a concatenation of the trial name, the accession name, and the plot number.)
accession_name: The name of the accession being tested in the plot (must exist in the database)
plot_number: The sequential number for the plot in the field (e.g. 1001, 1002, 2001, 2002). these numbers should be unique for the trial.
block_number: A design parameter indicating which block the plot is in
is_a_control: (optional) TRUE if the plot is a control. Generally, you will have accessions that are controls, so you should indicate the plots that that accession is in as a control.
rep_number: (optional) replicate number
range_number: (optional) range number, often synonymous with col_number
row_number: (optional) row number. if the field is a grid, this represents the y coordinate, required for field map generation. the top left plot should be row 1, column 1
col_number: (optional) column number. if the field is a grid, this represents the x coordinate. sometimes called range_number, required for field map generation. the top left plot shuold be row 1, column 1
seedlot_name: (optional) the seedlot from where the planted seed originated. must exist in the database
num_seed_per_plot: (optional) number seeds per plot. seed is transferred from seedlot mentioned in seedlot_name.
weight_gram_seed_per_plot: (optional) weight in gram of seeds in plot. seed is transferred from seedlot mentioned in seedlot name.
treatments: (optional) A named list where the name is the name of a treatment (e.g. inoculated, drought, etc) and the value should be TRUE if the treatment was applied to the plot or FALSE if not.
