Data Sheet 1_Comparative analysis of the rhizosphere microbiome and transcriptome in clubr

667,000 hectares of rapeseed in China are affected annually by clubroot disease. This dataset compares soil properties, rhizosphere microbial communities, and gene expression between a resistant (HYZ5R) and a susceptible (HYZ62) rapeseed variety after Plasmodiophora brassicae infection. It was authored by Jingjing Liao and uploaded to figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify microbial taxa associated with disease resistance based on relative abundance data for genera like Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia and Trichoderma.
• Analyze differential gene expression patterns for defense-related genes such as CML, WRKY, and PR1.
• Correlate soil physicochemical properties, like electrical conductivity and alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, with plant health outcomes.
• Model the suppression of defense pathways, such as phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, in susceptible plants post-infection.

Strengths

• Includes direct comparisons between resistant and susceptible plant varieties with quantified disease indices (54.86 vs. 17.05).
• Reports specific quantitative findings, such as a 30.36% decrease in Bacillus relative abundance in the susceptible variety after infection.
• Integrates three distinct data types: soil properties, microbiome composition, and transcriptomic responses.

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 very small (11.0 KB), suggesting it may contain summary results rather than raw sequencing or microbial abundance tables.
