Mass spectrometry data measures concentrations of five plant growth hormones—adenosine, zeatin, isopentenyladenosine, indole-3-acetic acid, and abscisic acid—in soil and hydroponic experiments. The dataset includes final plant biomass, pH, and soil biological activity measurements from studies with and without earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris and Eisenia fetida). It was funded by NERC grant NE/M000648/1.
Use Cases
- Analyze correlations between phytohormone concentrations (e.g., indole-3-acetic acid) and final plant biomass across soil and hydroponic treatments.
- Compare soil biological activity, measured via Fluorescein diacetate concentration, between earthworm species (Lumbricus terrestris and Eisenia fetida).
- Model the influence of hydroponic solution pH on the levels of growth hormones like abscisic acid and zeatin.
- Investigate the interaction effect of earthworm presence on the full phytohormone profile (adenosine, isopentenyladenosine, etc.) in different growth media.
Strengths
- Includes five specific phytohormone measurements per sample: adenosine, zeatin, isopentenyladenosine, indole-3-acetic acid, and abscisic acid.
- Data generated using mass spectrometry at The York Centre of Excellence in Mass Spectrometry, indicating high-precision instrumentation.
- Compares two distinct experimental systems (soil and hydroponics) and two earthworm species, enabling controlled environmental analysis.
Limitations
- Row and column counts are unknown, making it difficult to assess the dataset's scale and structure for computational tasks.
- Sample data and file formats are unspecified, requiring users to download the ZIP to inspect the actual data schema and content.
