Rooting Response of Litsea Cubeba to Fungal Extracts

A 75-day evaluation period monitored the effects of fungal extracts on Litsea cubeba cuttings. The dataset contains results from a randomized complete block design with 12 treatment groups, 3 replications, and 10 cuttings per replication. Zhiyong Zhu published the study on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Predict rooting_rate from extract_type and concentration using classification models on the 12 treatment groups.
• Analyze the correlation between antioxidant_enzyme_activities and lipid_peroxidation levels across physiological status measurements.
• Model the relationship between metabolomic_profile features (e.g., aminobenzoic_acid, traumatic_acid, epigallocatechin_gallate) and resulting root_phenotype (short_and_thick vs. other).
• Compare the physiological_vitality metrics (photosynthetic_pigments, soluble_nutrients) between the non-saline fermentation extract (0 FE) and NAA control treatments.

Strengths

• Experimental data from a controlled design with 12 treatment groups and 3 replications.
• Multifaceted measurements include rooting performance, root architecture, physiological status, and metabolomic profiling over a defined 75-day period.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 12.3 KB, indicating limited raw data or summary-level results.
• Sample size is constrained to one plant species (Litsea cubeba) and one fungal endophyte (Laburnicola rhizohalophila), limiting generalizability.
