Plant-Virus Interaction Data on Salicylic Acid Signaling and Whitefly Preference

Research data from figshare, authored by Li-Long Pan and last updated in June 2026, examines the molecular interaction between bipartite begomoviruses and plant hosts. The dataset, 93.7 MB in size, includes files in JPEG, JPG, and XLSX formats, likely containing experimental results and figures. It focuses on how viral proteins subvert the salicylic acid defense pathway to promote infection and alter whitefly vector behavior.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the impact of viral protein BV1 on plant defense gene expression based on the described molecular mechanism.
• Modeling the relationship between salicylic acid levels and whitefly vector preference for infected plants.
• Studying the counter-defense strategies of bipartite begomoviruses like Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus.

Strengths

• Dataset is 93.7 MB, indicating a substantive collection of supporting files.
• Includes multiple file formats (JPEG, JPG, XLSX), suggesting a combination of tabular data and visual results.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Geographic and temporal coverage of the underlying experiments is not specified.
