Lotus Japonicus Gibberellin Mutant Phenotypes and Mycorrhizal Colonization

This dataset documents the characterization of Lotus japonicus LORE1 transposon insertion mutants in four key gibberellin biosynthetic genes (CPS, KS, KO, KAO). The data supports findings on how mutations affect arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, specifically arbuscule distribution, but not total colonization levels. Row and column counts are unknown.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between mutations in CPS1, KS1, KO1, or KAO1 genes and the distribution of arbuscules in mycorrhizal symbiosis.
• Compare developmental phenotypes of gibberellin biosynthetic mutants to wild-type Lotus japonicus plants.
• Investigate the role of specific gibberellin genes (CPS, KS, KO, KAO) in regulating cortical cell layers for arbuscule accommodation.

Strengths

• Focuses on four key gibberellin biosynthetic genes (CPS, KS, KO, KAO) with identified major homologs (CPS1, KS1, KO1, KAO1).
• Data is associated with a published study on gibberellin's role in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis.
• Available under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 15.6 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary table rather than raw experimental data.
• Column names and sample data are unavailable, hindering precise understanding of data structure.
• Row count is unknown, making it difficult to assess the sample size of mutant lines or biological replicates.
