256 Melissa Officinalis Genotypes with Flow Cytometry and PCA Results

Supplementary data for 256 international genotypes of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm). The XLSX file contains detailed results from flow cytometry, principal component analysis (PCA), STRUCTURE, and hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) analyses. It was authored by Daniel von Maydell and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Constructing a core genetic collection based on the detailed genotype overview.
• Analyzing population structure based on the STRUCTURE and HAC results.
• Assessing ploidy levels and genome size variation using the flow cytometry data.
• Performing genetic diversity studies using the principal component analysis (PCA) results.

Strengths

• Includes data for 256 distinct genotypes, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Contains results from multiple complementary analytical methods (flow cytometry, PCA, STRUCTURE, HAC).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
• The 319.0 KB file size suggests a limited scope of data.
