Sisal AhSBP Gene Family: 45 Genes with miR156 Targets and Expression Data

Filled with genome-wide identification of 45 AhSBP genes in Agave sisalana, with 18 identified as putative miR156 targets. It integrates comparative transcriptomics, promoter cis-element analysis, and RT-qPCR validation to elucidate the miR156-AhSBP module's role under pathogen stress. The analysis reveals differential expression of genes like AhSBP9 and AhSBP38 between susceptible and resistant cultivars.

Use Cases

• Analyze the expression patterns of AhSBP9 and AhSBP38 genes under pathogen stress to identify markers for disease susceptibility.
• Investigate the correlation between asi-miR156 induction levels and the suppression of its 18 putative target AhSBP genes.
• Perform phylogenetic and synteny modeling on the 45 AhSBP genes to study lineage-specific expansion driven by segmental duplication.
• Examine promoter cis-elements of AhSBP genes like AhSBP17 and AhSBP34 to infer their potential regulatory roles as downstream effectors.

Strengths

• Identifies a specific set of 45 AhSBP genes from the Agave sisalana genome.
• Pinpoints 18 AhSBP genes as putative targets of miR156, providing a focused regulatory module.
• Integrates multiple analysis methods: genome-wide identification, transcriptomics, promoter analysis, and qPCR validation.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 46.9 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary table rather than raw experimental data.
• Sample data and column structure are unavailable, limiting immediate understanding of the data's granularity and format.
• The study is specific to Agave sisalana, limiting direct applicability to other plant species without comparative genomics.
