Comparative Multi-Omics Analysis of Endophytic Fungi Effects on Alpine Forage

710.5 KB Excel file details a multi-omics study comparing growth-promoting mechanisms of Trichoderma, Cladosporium, and Penicillium fungi on Festuca sinensis forage. The dataset includes results from integrative metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses following fungal treatments. Author Deyu Dong published the study on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze differences in hormone signal transduction gene expression among Trichoderma, Cladosporium, and Penicillium treatments.
• Compare metabolite biosynthesis pathways, such as tryptophan metabolism for IAA synthesis or steroid biosynthesis for brassinosteroids, across the three fungal genera.
• Correlate forage growth traits like aboveground dry weight and root length with specific fungal strain treatments (Cp78, Pe167, Ta121).
• Investigate the regulation of carbon cycling pathways identified in Penicillium treatments against plant performance metrics.

Strengths

• Data integrates multiple omics layers—transcriptomics and metabolomics—for a comparative analysis.
• Focuses on three distinct fungal genera (Trichoderma, Cladosporium, Penicillium) and their specific molecular mechanisms.
• Study is explicitly tied to a key ecological forage species, Festuca sinensis cv. Qinghai, from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 710.5 KB, indicating limited raw data or highly summarized results.
• Specific row and column counts are unknown, obscuring the dataset's granularity and analytical scope.
• Sample data and column names are unavailable, hindering preliminary assessment of data structure.
