Coix Transcriptome Data for Cadmium Stress Response Analysis

Transcriptome sequencing data from a Coix lacryma-jobi germplasm (YY03-03) exposed to cadmium stress. The dataset includes 6.28–9.79 billion base pairs of sequencing data across control and treated root, stem, leaf, and grain tissues, identifying thousands of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). It was authored by Pengliang He and last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for cadmium tolerance based on differentially expressed gene (DEG) lists.
• Analyze gene ontology (GO) enrichment for biological processes like catalytic activity and metabolic processes.
• Investigate KEGG pathways related to environmental adaptability and signal transduction under cadmium stress.
• Validate transcriptomic findings using quantitative real-time PCR data for 12 stress-responsive DEGs.

Strengths

• Sequencing depth is detailed, with ranges from 6.28 to 9.79 billion base pairs per tissue sample.
• DEG counts are provided per tissue type, with 1144 to 3818 genes identified.
• Experimental design includes multiple cadmium concentrations (0, 15, and 30 mg kg⁻¹) and four plant tissues.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
