Data Sheet 2_Comparative analysis of the rhizosphere microbiome and transcriptome in clubr

Clubroot disease threatens over 667,000 hectares of rapeseed annually in China. This dataset compares soil properties, microbial communities, and gene expression between a susceptible (HYZ62) and a resistant (HYZ5R) rapeseed variety after Plasmodiophora brassicae infection. It was authored by Jingjing Liao and published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify microbial taxa associated with disease resistance based on relative abundance data for genera like Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia and Trichoderma.
• Analyze differential gene expression related to plant immunity, such as pattern-triggered immunity genes (CML, WRKY, PR1) and effector-triggered immunity genes (RIN4, RPS5, HSP90).
• Correlate soil physicochemical properties, like electrical conductivity and alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, with disease susceptibility indices.
• Model the suppression of defense-related metabolic pathways, such as phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, under pathogen infection.

Strengths

• Includes specific disease index measurements for susceptible (54.86) and resistant (17.05) varieties.
• Reports quantitative differences in soil properties, such as electrical conductivity being 1.73 times higher in the resistant variety under inoculation.
• Identifies specific microbial genera with differing relative abundances between varieties.
• Links transcriptomic data on defense-related gene expression to phenotypic resistance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (11.4 KB), indicating a limited scope, likely summary statistics rather than raw sequencing data.
