Metabolomic Profiles of Dracaena Cochinchinensis Wood Morphotypes for Resinogenesis Study

A metabolomic study of Dracaena cochinchinensis wood, characterizing 299 specialized metabolites across three wood morphotypes. The dataset, authored by Meijia Chen and last updated in May 2026, integrates UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS data with Feature-Based Molecular Networking to analyze metabolic shifts during resin formation.

Use Cases

• Modeling metabolic pathways for resin biosynthesis based on annotated flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, steroid, and lipid profiles.
• Classifying wood morphotypes (hollow cork cambium, whole-body resin-containing, resin-secreting aggregated) based on multivariate statistical analysis of metabolic shifts.
• Developing quality evaluation frameworks for woody medicinal resources using the described metabolomic workflow.
• Investigating resource allocation strategies from physical repair to chemical defense using the proposed 'progressive metabolic continuum' model.

Strengths

• Contains annotations for 299 specialized metabolites, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, steroids, and lipids.
• Integrates UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS with Feature-Based Molecular Networking, a method described to overcome annotation bottlenecks.
• Analyzes three distinct wood morphotypes (P, MZ, LZ), enabling comparative study.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a 6.0 MB DOCX document, which may not be a standard format for structured data analysis.
