Molecular Module FcERF71–FcDREB1 of Fig Represses Fruit Softening

Research data from figshare elucidates the regulatory mechanisms of fruit softening in fig (Ficus carica L.). The dataset, authored by Zhiyi Fan and last updated in April 2026, contains experimental results on the interaction between transcription factors FcDREB1 and FcERF71 and their repression of key cell-wall-modifying genes FcPL7 and FcPG12.

Use Cases

• Modeling gene regulatory networks based on transcription factor interactions described in the study
• Analyzing the relationship between pectate lyase (PL) and polygalacturonase (PG) activity and fruit firmness
• Investigating ethylene-induced protein effects on fruit softening pathways
• Identifying potential genetic targets for improving fig fruit storability based on the FcDREB1 repressor mechanism

Strengths

• Dataset is focused on a specific molecular mechanism (FcERF71–FcDREB1 module) described in detail.
• File is provided in a structured XLSX format (28.0 KB), suitable for direct analysis.

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 small in scale (28.0 KB), indicating limited scope.
