Melon ABCB Gene Family: 39 Identified Genes and Expression During Bud Development

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) genome-wide identification of the ABCB gene family. The dataset contains 39 identified CmABCB genes, classified into five phylogenetic subgroups, with expression data from RNA-seq and qRT-PCR under IAA treatment. Author Jun Lai published the data on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic classification of ABCB transporters based on the identified 39 genes and five subgroups.
• Analysis of gene expression correlation with IAA concentration based on RNA-seq and qRT-PCR data.
• Comparative evolutionary studies using collinearity analysis between melon and cucumber.
• Identification of candidate genes for molecular breeding based on the correlation of CmABCB14, CmABCB20, and CmABCB21 with auxin efflux.

Strengths

• Identifies a specific count of 39 CmABCB genes in the melon genome.
• Includes expression profiling data from RNA-seq and qRT-PCR experiments under IAA treatment.
• Provides phylogenetic classification into five subgroups and collinearity analysis with cucumber.

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 small (18.4 KB), suggesting limited scope or summary-level data.
