CtChi19: Proteomic and Transcriptomic Data for Safflower Disease Resistance

490 and 921 differentially expressed proteins were identified in safflower at 48 and 72 hours post-infection by Alternaria alternata, respectively. The dataset, authored by Kang Ma and last updated in 2026, focuses on the candidate defense-related gene CtChi19. It integrates proteomic and transcriptomic data to support molecular breeding for disease-resistant safflower varieties.

Use Cases

• Identifying candidate defense-related genes in safflower based on proteomic analysis of fungal infection.
• Validating hub gene functions, such as CtChi19, for enhancing resistance to Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria alternata.
• Screening for genetic markers associated with chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase activity increases mentioned in the study.

Strengths

• Dataset is derived from proteomic analysis identifying 490 and 921 differentially expressed proteins at specific time points.
• Focuses on a specific hub gene, CtChi19, with experimental validation of its role in disease resistance.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is small at 83.8 KB, indicating a limited scope focused on specific experimental results.
