CtChi19: Proteomic and Transcriptomic Data for Safflower Fungal Resistance

490 and 921 differentially expressed proteins were identified in safflower at 48 and 72 hours post-infection by Alternaria alternata. Kang Ma published this dataset on figshare in 2026, focusing on the hub gene CtChi19. The data provides genetic resources for molecular breeding of disease-resistant safflower varieties.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate defense-related proteins in safflower based on proteomic analysis of fungal infection.
• Perform weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) based on integrated transcriptomic and proteomic data.
• Study the role of chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase activities in plant immunity based on enzyme activity assays.
• Support molecular breeding for disease-resistant crops based on identified hub genes like CtChi19.

Strengths

• Dataset includes specific counts of differentially expressed proteins (490 at 48 hpi, 921 at 72 hpi).
• Focuses on a validated hub gene (CtChi19) with demonstrated impact on resistance to two fungal pathogens.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse and redistribution.

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 10.5 KB, indicating a very limited scope of data.
