Concatenated Matrix of Neopestalotiopsis ITS, TUB, TEF Sequences for Rubber Tree Decline

Fatin Farhana Abd Hadi Kamil published a concatenated multilocus sequence matrix on figshare in May 2026. The 224.9 KB dataset combines ITS, TUB, and TEF gene regions to investigate fungal taxa associated with the decline syndrome of Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) in Malaysia. It is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license in FAS format.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis of Neopestalotiopsis species based on concatenated ITS, TUB, and TEF sequences.
• Investigating the association between specific fungal taxa and rubber tree decline syndrome in Malaysia.
• Developing molecular diagnostic markers for fungal pathogens affecting Hevea brasiliensis.
• Comparative genomics of fungal plant pathogens using multilocus sequence data.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (224.9 KB), facilitating quick download and local analysis.
• Uses a standard open license (CC-BY-4.0) allowing for reuse and redistribution.
• Focuses on a specific agricultural pathology problem (rubber tree decline in Malaysia).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analyses.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
