BIOL425 Plant Physiology and Development, Arabidopsis thaliana shade response regarding sh

72 Arabidopsis thaliana samples were subjected to 6 different treatments manipulating light, temperature, and water availability as part of a University of Washington course project. Data includes 7 days of photographic imagery for ImageJ analysis and biomass and root length measurements taken on three separate days. The dataset was created by Fanya Yuan in 2026 and is licensed for open use under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Analyze phenotypic plasticity based on light, temperature, and water availability treatments
• Compare growth responses across the four listed Arabidopsis genotypes (Col-0, phyB-9, fpf1flp1flp2, pSUC2-FLP2)
• Model plant development dynamics using time-series photographic data collected over 7 days
• Investigate the relationship between biomass accumulation and root length under varying environmental stresses

Strengths

• 72 samples provide a basis for statistical comparison across 6 treatments
• Time-series data includes 7 days of photographs and biomass/root measurements on three days
• Experimental design controls for initial conditions with a standardized 2-week germination period

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect bias inherent to a single academic course project conducted over a specific timeframe
