Rice Transcription Factor Expression Under Heat Stress and Recovery

Transcriptomic data comparing diploid and autotetraploid rice genotypes under control, heat stress, and recovery conditions. The dataset includes expression data for 1,141 transcription factor genes across 56 families, with analysis of differential expression and co-expression networks. It was authored by Changjiang Zhang and last updated on 2026-04 16.

Use Cases

• Identify differentially expressed transcription factors (DETFs) under heat stress based on the reported 1,141 TF genes.
• Analyze genotype-specific regulatory shifts based on the described threefold increase in DETFs in the autotetraploid.
• Investigate co-expression modules and hub genes based on the WGCNA-identified 67 hub genes.
• Study MAPK-associated thermotolerance mechanisms based on the five identified MAPK-associated TFs (OsbZIP23, OsbZIP49, OsbZIP84, OsRR26, OsMYC2).
• Examine transcriptional reprogramming during recovery based on the described twofold excess of upregulated DETFs.

Strengths

• Includes expression data for 1,141 transcription factor genes across 56 families.
• Compares three distinct experimental conditions: control, heat stress, and recovery.
• Analysis identifies 67 hub genes from co-expression networks.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 4.8 MB file size suggests a relatively small dataset.
