Transcriptomic Effects of Red Light on Wheat Stem Solidness Across Seven Varieties

A transcriptomic dataset from a controlled greenhouse experiment comparing supplemental red light with standard lighting in spring wheat. The data was generated by nagendra singh and last updated on 2026-05-13. It focuses on two distinct genotypes, Duclair and Reeder, profiled at Zadok’s stage 31 to assess light-regulated pith development.

Use Cases

• Identify light-responsive pathways associated with pith parenchyma differentiation based on transcriptomic profiles.
• Compare gene expression patterns between solid-stemmed (Duclair) and hollow-stemmed (Reeder) wheat varieties under different light conditions.
• Investigate the molecular basis of phytochrome signaling and programmed cell death in relation to stem solidness.
• Analyze transcriptomic changes linked to wheat stem sawfly resistance traits.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 8.3 MB, indicating a focused and manageable transcriptomic study.
• The experiment is controlled, comparing supplemental red light with standard greenhouse lighting across seven spring wheat varieties.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific controlled greenhouse conditions and selected genotypes.
