Antifungal Activity of Chaetomium subaffine LB-1 Against Southern Corn Leaf Blight

Caiyun Liu's research data, last updated 2026-05-20, investigates the biocontrol strain Chaetomium subaffine LB-1. The dataset includes results from in vitro and potted plant assays showing 71.34% control efficacy, along with transcriptome analysis identifying 4,124 differentially expressed genes in the pathogen Bipolaris maydis. The findings elucidate the interaction mechanism involving cell membrane permeability and metabolic pathway changes.

Use Cases

• Training models to predict antifungal efficacy based on transcriptomic response patterns described in the study.
• Analyzing gene expression changes in plant pathogens under biocontrol agent stress, based on the 4,124 identified DEGs.
• Studying the molecular mechanisms of cell membrane disruption in fungi, based on the described permeability and morphological observations.

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results such as a 71.34% control efficacy against southern corn leaf blight.
• Transcriptome analysis identified a concrete number of 4,124 differentially expressed genes, with 1,924 upregulated and 2,200 downregulated.
• The description details multiple experimental methods: poison plate assay, potted plant assay, morphological observation, and RNA-seq.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 313.1 KB DOCX file, which is a very small document likely containing summarized results rather than raw experimental data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data structure and field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description metadata is limited to the study's abstract; actual data tables or raw sequencing files are not described.
