Pennycress Heat Stress Tolerance Data from Four Growth Chamber Experiments

CRISPR-edited pennycress lines with reduced polyunsaturated fatty acids showed improved heat tolerance. The dataset likely contains measurements of pollen viability, lipid peroxidation, proline content, and seed yield under controlled temperature regimes. It was authored by Nikhil S. Jaikumar and uploaded to figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the effect of gene edits (FAD2, ROD1) on pollen viability under elevated temperatures based on the description
• Compare lipid peroxidation and proline accumulation in leaves and silicles following heat stress based on the description
• Evaluate seed yield changes in mutant lines after heat exposure during flowering and silicle development based on the description

Strengths

• The dataset is based on four distinct growth chamber experiments, suggesting controlled conditions
• Results include specific percentages for pollen viability (71%, 54%, 37%) and seed yield changes (0%, 40%, 61%)
• The data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse

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 217.7 KB, indicating a limited scope
