Eucalyptus Drought Response Genes from RNA-Seq Meta-Analysis

A meta-analysis of three independent RNA-Seq studies on Eucalyptus grandis under drought stress, conducted by João Vítor Aires-Teixeira and last updated in April 2026. It identifies a high-confidence set of 472 differentially expressed genes, including 274 upregulated and 198 downregulated genes. The analysis reveals functional networks linking stress response activation to growth suppression.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for drought tolerance breeding based on the 472 differentially expressed genes.
• Analyze growth-defense tradeoffs based on functional pathways described in the results.
• Study protein-protein interaction networks related to drought stress and growth processes.
• Validate drought-responsive gene signatures using the described Jackknife validation approach.

Strengths

• Identifies a specific, validated set of 472 differentially expressed genes.
• Results from a meta-analysis integrating three independent studies to reduce single-study bias.
• Includes functional analysis categorizing genes into stress response and growth-related pathways.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 14.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
