bag8 Mutant Plants: Stomatal Aperture Measurements in Maize

Yao Wang published data on stomatal aperture measurements for maize bag8 mutant plants on figshare in April 2026. The dataset, 30.0 KB in size, supports research on the role of ZmSKIP and ZmBAG8 proteins in regulating drought tolerance. It is available in XLS format under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing stomatal aperture phenotypes in mutant plants based on the described bag8 mutant measurements.
• Investigating the genetic regulation of drought tolerance based on the described ZmSKIP-ZmBAG8 interaction pathway.
• Modeling plant water loss under stress based on the described correlation between stomatal closure and reduced water loss.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 30.0 KB, allowing for quick download and inspection.
• Data is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed research finding on drought tolerance mechanisms.

Limitations

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