Phylogenomic and Metabolomic Data for Cultivated Ferula Species in Xinjiang

Leaf samples from 30 Ferula specimens collected from ten cultivated locations in Xinjiang were analyzed using phylogenomic and metabolomic methods. The dataset includes plastome super-barcoding results and untargeted metabolomic profiling that detected 7,169 metabolites. The data was authored by Hafiz Muhammad Wariss and last updated on 2026-04-27.

Use Cases

• Species discrimination of cultivated Ferula based on plastome super-barcoding results
• Chemotaxonomic analysis using the 7,169 detected metabolites from untargeted profiling
• Validating phylogenetic relationships among Ferula sinkiangensis, Ferula teterrima, and Ferula fukanensis
• Ensuring product quality and safety for culinary and medicinal applications of Ferula based on species-specific chemical fingerprints

Strengths

• Includes data from 30 specimens collected from ten locations, providing a basis for comparative analysis
• Metabolomic profiling detected 7,169 metabolites, offering a detailed chemical profile
• Combines phylogenomic (plastome) and metabolomic (UPLC-MS/MS) data for a multi-method approach

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is contained in a 1.4 MB DOCX file, which may require extraction and formatting for analysis
