Common Bean Inceptin Receptor Haplotypes and Expression Data

Figshare data from a PLOS ONE study details genetic variation at the Inceptin Receptor (INR) locus in Andean Phaseolus vulgaris. It includes whole-genome sequencing alignments for 21 accessions, promoter sequence analysis, and qRT-PCR expression data from leaf tissue of 14-day-old plants. Brian Behnken published this data in 2026.

Use Cases

• Correlate INR promoter haplotypes (P1-P6) with In11 sensitivity phenotypes observed in different common bean accessions.
• Analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the INR coding sequence (Phvul.007G077500) across 21 Andean accessions.
• Compare INR expression levels from qRT-PCR data between responsive (e.g., PI 638852) and unresponsive (e.g., PI 638858) landraces.
• Investigate predicted transcription factor binding sites in the 1.8 kb INR promoter region relative to specific SNP positions.
• Validate genetic introgression lines (INR/INR vs. inr-2/inr-2) using expression data from wounding and PvPep1 treatment assays.

Strengths

• Includes whole-genome sequencing data for 21 distinct Andean common bean accessions.
• Provides qRT-PCR expression data for multiple genotypes under control and treated conditions.
• Contains detailed promoter sequence alignment spanning 1.8 kb with annotated SNPs.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 2.7 MB, suggesting limited raw sequence or expression data volume.
• Sample size for expression analysis is limited to a few responsive and unresponsive accessions.
• Some WGS data had low coverage depth, noted with asterisks and question marks in alignments.
