Pinellia Ternata Transcriptome Data for Alkaloid Biosynthesis Pathway Analysis

Transcriptomic profiling yielded 63,106 unigenes from two cultivated varieties of Pinellia ternata. The dataset likely contains gene expression data related to alkaloid biosynthesis pathways, including key enzyme and transcription factor genes. It was uploaded by Yanyan Pei to figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify differentially expressed genes in alkaloid biosynthesis based on transcriptomic profiling.
• Predict putative alkaloid biosynthetic pathways based on annotated secondary metabolic pathways.
• Validate gene function in alkaloid metabolism based on overexpression experiment results.
• Compare alkaloid profiles between plant varieties based on LC-MS analysis data.

Strengths

• Transcriptomic profiling yielded 63,106 unigenes.
• Includes data from two cultivated varieties with distinct alkaloid profiles.
• Functional verification was conducted via gene overexpression experiments.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (9.7 KB), suggesting limited scope.
