Pennycress Seed Composition and Heat Stress Response Data from CRISPR-Edited Lines

20 tables of phenotypic, biochemical, and reproductive measurements from wild-type and CRISPR-edited pennycress plants. Data includes seed fatty acid profiles, pollen viability, yield components, and stress indicators under control and elevated temperature conditions. The dataset was authored by Nikhil Jaikumar and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between fatty acid desaturation and pollen thermotolerance based on parallel seed composition and viability measurements.
• Modeling genotype-by-environment interactions for yield stability based on trait correlations across multiple gene-edited lines and temperature treatments.
• Conducting meta-analyses on oxidative stress in plants based on biochemical indicators like TBARS, proline, and peroxide content.
• Studying the trade-offs between seed oil composition and agronomic performance under heat stress based on seed weight and yield component data.

Strengths

• Includes data from multiple independent CRISPR/Cas9-edited lines targeting three specific genes (FAD2, ROD1, FAE1).
• Contains 20 distinct tables covering seed composition, stress physiology, reproductive performance, and agronomic traits.
• Provides parallel measurements under both control and defined heat stress conditions (34 °C/28 °C).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is listed as 0.0 B in size, indicating a very limited scope or potential metadata issue.
