Kiwifruit Heat Acclimation Transcriptomics and Physiological Recovery Data

A transcriptomics study investigating heat acclimation mechanisms in kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.). The dataset likely contains gene expression data and physiological measurements related to root vitality and photosynthesis recovery under heat stress. It was authored by Ke-jia Zhang and last updated on 2026-05-05.

Use Cases

• Identify key acclimation-responsive genes like AcLBD1 based on transcriptomics data mentioned in the description
• Study the positive feedback loop between AcHSFA2-1 and AcHSFA2-2 transcription factors
• Analyze the co-activation of heat-protective protein genes (AcHSP20s) by the AcLBD1-AcHSFA2s module
• Correlate gene expression changes with physiological recovery metrics such as root vitality and photosynthesis

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific molecular pathway (AcLBD1-AcHSFA2s-HSP20 cascade) described in the study
• Includes results from genetic manipulation, such as a 4.13-fold increase in root vitality from AcHSFA2-2 overexpression
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 12.1 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
