Tomato Rhizosphere Metagenomic Data on Root-Knot Nematode Infection

Metagenomic sequencing data compares the rhizosphere microbiome of healthy and root-knot nematode-infected tomato plants. The dataset includes community structure, microbial co-occurrence network topology, and functional gene profiles. It was authored by Jie Duan and last updated on 2026-05-04.

Use Cases

• Analyze shifts in bacterial, fungal, and viral community structure based on pathogen infection status.
• Study the simplification and modularity loss in microbial interaction networks based on co-occurrence analysis.
• Investigate the weakening of cross-kingdom bacteria-fungi interactions described in the results.
• Profile metabolic reprogramming and functional gene shifts toward stress response pathways.
• Model the destabilization of microbial cooperative networks as a mechanism for reduced disease suppression.

Strengths

• Data is derived from metagenomic sequencing coupled with microbial co-occurrence network analysis, a systematic method.
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.
• The description provides specific findings on network topology changes and functional shifts.

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 small (1.6 MB), suggesting it may contain summary or processed results rather than raw sequencing reads.
