Poplar Gene Expression and Disease Resistance Data for Botryosphaeria dothidea

102 WRKY transcription factors were identified in Populus trichocarpa via BLASTp and Hidden Markov Model screening. This dataset, authored by Dongchen Shen and last updated in March 2026, likely contains results from phylogenetic analysis and functional validation of the PdpapWRKY11 gene. The research proposes a mechanism linking WRKY11 upregulation to lignin biosynthesis and enhanced resistance to poplar canker.

Use Cases

• Analyzing phylogenetic classification of WRKY gene families based on the described seven subfamilies.
• Modeling gene expression relationships between transcription factors and phenylpropanoid pathway genes like PAL and CAD.
• Investigating genetic markers for disease resistance in poplar based on the WRKY11 overexpression findings.

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a study that includes genome-wide identification and molecular functional validation.
• The underlying research proposes a specific resistance mechanism linking WRKY11 to lignin accumulation.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 20.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
