Abstract

The data in this article includes 300 simulated two-way data tables with 200 genotypes in the rows and 12 environments in the columns each. The yield data was obtained from a genotype-to-phenotype crop growth model that was adapted for pepper. The genotypes were characterized by 237 markers covering all the 12 chromosomes, and the environments were obtained as a combination of: (i) two levels of radiation based on historical data; (ii) three levels of daily average temperatures, 15, 20 and 25 °C; and (iii) two countries, Spain and The Netherlands. 100 two-way data tables were obtained for each of the three levels of heritability in the environments, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.8. The data is available as supplementary material of this paper.
