Kale Seed Germination Data Under Salinity Stress with Molybdenum Nanoparticle Priming

Supplementary file 2_Molybdenum nanoparticle improved seed germination in Kale via regulating ROS homeostasis and metabolites accumulation under salinity stress.xlsx contains experimental data on kale seed germination under salt stress. The dataset includes physiological markers and untargeted metabolomics results comparing the effects of molybdenum nanoparticle priming versus bulk molybdate treatment. The data was authored by Rumeng Zhao and last updated on 2026-05-01.

Use Cases

• Compare germination rates based on nanoparticle versus bulk chemical seed priming treatments.
• Analyze changes in plant hormone levels (GA, ABA, melatonin) under salinity stress.
• Investigate metabolic shifts (starch degradation, TCA cycle intermediates) in response to nanoparticle priming.
• Evaluate physiological markers like radicle fresh weight, chlorophyll content, and photosystem II efficiency.
• Study the relationship between antioxidant defense (POD activity, GSSG/GSH ratio) and salinity tolerance.

Strengths

• Includes specific experimental conditions: 100 mg L⁻¹ Mo NPs priming for 12 hours and 150 mM NaCl stress.
• Reports concrete performance metrics: an 18.8% increase in germination and a 74.8% increase in radicle fresh weight under salinity for Mo NP-primed seeds.
• Contains metabolomics data from 3-day-old radicles, revealing specific compounds like maltose, glucose-6-phosphate, malate, and isocitrate.

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 (27.7 KB), indicating a limited scope focused on a specific experiment.
