Transcriptomic and Microbiome Data for Green and Red Aphid Morphs Under Heat Stress

Transcriptome and 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing data for green and red color morphs of the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) under high-temperature stresses of 30°C and 35°C across different exposure durations. The dataset was uploaded by author Yan Pang to figshare on 2026-04-17. It includes gene expression patterns and microbial community dynamics to analyze thermal adaptation mechanisms.

Use Cases

• Compare differential gene expression patterns between aphid color morphs based on transcriptomic data.
• Analyze shifts in microbial symbiont communities under heat stress based on 16S rDNA sequencing.
• Investigate the role of heat shock protein and detoxification enzyme genes in thermal tolerance.
• Study the relationship between primary symbiont Buchnera abundance and aphid morph survival under high temperature.

Strengths

• Data includes two distinct experimental temperature conditions (30°C and 35°C) and multiple exposure durations.
• Analysis includes both transcriptomic and microbiome (16S rDNA) data for a multi-omics perspective.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is relatively small at 1.5 MB, which may limit the scope of analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
