Data Sheet 2: Kiwifruit Heat Acclimation Transcriptomics and Mutant Analysis

A supplementary data sheet details molecular mechanisms of heat acclimation in kiwifruit. The study involved heat stress treatments from 35°C to 55°C and used transcriptomics to identify key genes like AcLBD1 and AcHSFA2s. The document was authored by Ke-jia Zhang and uploaded to figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Study gene regulatory networks for heat tolerance based on the described AcLBD1-AcHSFA2s cascade.
• Validate heat-responsive gene expression patterns in kiwifruit mutants based on the achsfa2-1 loss-of-function analysis.
• Investigate the recovery of root vitality and photosynthesis post-stress based on physiological measurements mentioned.
• Analyze promoter activity relationships between transcription factors based on the AcHSFA2-1 and AcHSFA2-2 feedback loop.

Strengths

• Includes specific fold-change results, such as a 4.13-fold increase in root vitality from AcHSFA2-2 overexpression.
• Describes a clear experimental design with defined temperature treatments (35°C, 45°C, 55°C).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 58.4 KB PDF, which suggests limited scope and likely contains summary data rather than raw records.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data structure must be inferred from the document.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-05-05).
