Data Sheet 1_Salicylic acid signaling controls the colonization behavior of Colletotrichum

502.2 KB of experimental data from figshare, authored by Norhafizah Binti Sidek and last updated on 2026-04-15. The dataset examines the role of salicylic acid signaling in the phosphate-dependent growth promotion of Arabidopsis thaliana by the root endophyte Colletotrichum tofieldiae. It includes measurements of plant growth, biomass, and elemental nutrient content under low, moderate, and high phosphate conditions.

Use Cases

• Modeling plant growth response to endophyte colonization based on phosphate availability and salicylic acid signaling.
• Analyzing correlations between nutrient accumulation (P, K, S, Ca) and biomass changes under different phosphate regimes.
• Investigating the genetic determinant ICS1 in mediating the shift from growth promotion to suppression.
• Training classifiers to predict symbiotic outcome (mutualism vs. antagonism) based on environmental phosphate levels.

Strengths

• Includes specific growth metrics, such as a 41.8% increase in leaf number and a 50.5% increase in root length under low phosphate.
• Provides elemental profiling data with quantified changes, including a 281% increase in phosphorus content.
• Compares wild-type and SA-deficient mutant plant responses across three defined phosphate concentrations (25, 150, and 625 µM).

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 at 502.2 KB, indicating limited scope.
