Citrus HLB Resistance Interstock Greenhouse Trial Data

A 233.6 KB Excel file contains tabular data from a greenhouse experiment evaluating six HLB-resistant genotypes as interstocks. The dataset includes measurements of CLas infection and titer in leaves, stem bark, and roots, along with molecular, anatomical, and biometric variables, collected over 12–24 months after graft-inoculation. Author Josiane C. Darolt published the data under CC BY 4.0 to investigate the potential of Australian citrus hybrids to block CLas movement within trees.

Use Cases

• Analyze CLas titer levels in scion, interstock bark, and rootstock tissues to compare bacterial movement blockage across genotypes.
• Model the relationship between CLas + CTV infection status and root system dry weight changes using biometric variables.
• Correlate molecular gene expression data with anatomical sieve phloem changes observed in infected plant tissues.
• Assess the frequency of CLas detection in roots versus scion leaves to evaluate interstock efficacy over the 12–24 month experimental period.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple measurement types: CLas titer, molecular, anatomical, and biometric variables from a controlled greenhouse experiment.
• Experimental design compares six distinct HLB-resistant interstock genotypes against a susceptible control over a 12–24 month period.
• Published under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license, facilitating reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 233.6 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a low row count from a single greenhouse study.
• Findings are from controlled greenhouse conditions; applicability to field performance requires long-term evaluation as noted by the author.
• Column names and exact row count are unknown, complicating initial data exploration and schema understanding.
