Vanilla Planifolia GYF Gene Family: Expression in Fruit Development and Virus Response

Vanilla planifolia research identifies 22 haplotype-specific GYF gene copies and their expression profiles. The dataset includes results from genome-wide identification, phylogenetic analysis, and a nine-week Cymbidium mosaic virus inoculation experiment. It was authored by Jesse Potts and last updated on 2026-04-17.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate susceptibility genes for potexviruses based on infection-responsive VpGYF loci.
• Study the role of GYF genes in secondary metabolism based on expression correlation with vanillin content.
• Analyze promoter cis-elements for stress and hormone responsiveness in GYF genes.
• Conduct comparative phylogenetic analysis of GYF proteins across plant species.

Strengths

• Identifies 22 specific GYF gene copies (VpGYF1–VpGYF22) in Vanilla planifolia.
• Includes gene expression data from a controlled nine-week virus inoculation experiment.
• Phylogenetic analysis groups genes into three distinct functional clades.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is a 1.1 MB DOCX file, which may require parsing to extract structured data.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific experimental conditions and figshare platform.
