TaWRKY58 Wheat Gene Expression and Phenotype Data

Yazhou Zhang published underlying numerical data for a study on the wheat transcription factor TaWRKY58 in April 2026. The dataset, hosted on figshare, supports a model where TaWRKY58 acts as a transcriptional repressor coordinating plant architecture and drought response. It is a 22.7 KB XLSX file.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between TaWRKY58 expression and plant height/gibberellin levels based on mutant phenotype data.
• Investigate the role of TaWRKY58 in drought tolerance based on data on soluble sugar accumulation.
• Study transcriptional regulation by examining genome-wide binding sites and target genes like TaLRR and TaBCS1 identified via DAP-seq.
• Validate gene function by correlating mutant phenotypes of target genes with aspects of the TaWRKY58 overexpression phenotype.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed biological mechanism for the TaWRKY58 transcription factor.
• The dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• It includes results from multiple experimental assays (DAP-seq, EMSA, dual-luciferase) mentioned in the description.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 22.7 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
