Data Sheet 3_Comparative analysis of the rhizosphere microbiome and transcriptome in clubr

A 26.4 KB Excel dataset comparing soil properties, microbial communities, and gene expression between clubroot-susceptible and resistant rapeseed varieties. The data includes measurements like electrical conductivity, relative abundances of microbial genera, and expression levels of immunity-related genes. Author Jingjing Liao published the dataset on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, with a last update 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 patterns related to plant immunity, such as CML, WRKY, and PR1 genes.
• Correlate soil physicochemical properties, like electrical conductivity and alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, with plant disease outcomes.
• Model the relationship between rhizosphere microbiome shifts and suppression of defense-related metabolic pathways like phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative measurements, such as a 30.36% decrease in Bacillus relative abundance and electrical conductivity ratios of 1.73 and 1.57.
• Integrates multiple data types: soil physicochemical properties, microbiome composition, and transcriptomic responses.
• Provides clear comparative metrics between resistant and susceptible varieties, including disease indices of 54.86 and 17.05.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's 26.4 KB size suggests a limited scope, likely containing summary or processed results rather than raw sequencing reads.
