Data Sheet 7_CtChi19: Safflower Proteomic and Transcriptomic Data for Disease Resistance

Proteomic analysis of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) infected by Alternaria alternata identified 490 and 921 differentially expressed proteins at 48 and 72 hours post-infection, respectively. The dataset, created by Kang Ma and last updated in April 2026, integrates these findings with prior transcriptomic data from Botrytis cinerea infection to screen candidate defense-related genes, with a focus on the hub gene CtChi19.

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 mentioned in the description.
• Investigate subcellular localization patterns of defense proteins like CtChi19 based on described assays.
• Screen for genetic targets for molecular breeding of disease-resistant safflower varieties based on the identified candidate genes.

Strengths

• Includes 490 and 921 differentially expressed proteins quantified at two specific time points (48 and 72 hpi).
• Integrates multiple omics layers (proteomic and transcriptomic data) for candidate gene screening.
• Results are linked to functional validation, including subcellular localization and transgenic plant assays.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is small (195.8 KB), indicating limited scope or a summary-level view rather than raw experimental data.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
