Apple Rootstock Copper Toxicity and Nitrogen Form Responses with RNA-Seq Data

A 2.1 MB Excel dataset from figshare, authored by Jiale Wang and last updated on April 22, 2026. It contains physiological and transcriptomic data from a study investigating how nitrate and ammonium forms of nitrogen affect copper uptake, translocation, and tolerance in Malus (apple) rootstock plants under copper stress.

Use Cases

• Compare copper detoxification mechanisms based on nitrogen form treatments described in the study.
• Analyze gene expression patterns related to cell wall metabolism and copper transport mentioned in the RNA sequencing results.
• Model relationships between subcellular copper fractions and antioxidant activity data referenced in the description.
• Validate findings on pectin, hemicellulose, and enzyme activity changes under different nitrogen regimes.

Strengths

• Dataset is 2.1 MB in size, making it manageable for download and local analysis.
• Includes multi-modal data types suggested by the description: physiological measurements (e.g., Cu concentrations, ROS, antioxidants) and transcriptomic data (RNA sequencing).
• License is clearly specified as CC-BY-NC-4.0, defining permissible use.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection.
