Coix Transcriptome Analysis Under Cadmium Stress

Transcriptome sequencing data from a coix (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) germplasm YY03-03 exposed to cadmium stress. The dataset includes 6.28–9.79 billion base pairs of sequencing data from control and cadmium-treated roots, stems, leaves, and grains, identifying thousands of differentially expressed genes. It was authored by Pengliang He and last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Identify key genes for cadmium tolerance based on differentially expressed gene (DEG) counts across plant tissues.
• Analyze molecular pathways altered by cadmium stress based on KEGG pathway analysis results.
• Validate transcriptomic data using quantitative real-time PCR results for 12 stress-responsive DEGs.
• Study the relationship between cadmium exposure and photosynthetic parameters like transpiration and stomatal conductance.

Strengths

• Includes transcriptome data from four distinct plant tissues (roots, stems, leaves, grains) under control and cadmium-treated conditions.
• Quantifies thousands of differentially expressed genes (e.g., 3818 DEGs in leaves) with up/down regulation counts.
• Provides specific physiological measurements (e.g., 64.8% decrease in transpiration rate) alongside genomic data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single coix germplasm (YY03-03), which may limit generalizability.
