Osmanthus Fragrans Defense Responses to Botryosphaeria Dothidea Infection

Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic data from a study of Osmanthus fragrans leaf responses to Botryosphaeria dothidea infection. The dataset includes 30,125 differentially expressed genes and 356 differentially accumulated metabolites identified across early, middle, and late infection stages in resistant and susceptible genotypes. It was authored by Shizhen Wang and last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Identify hub genes in defense regulatory networks based on Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) results
• Analyze stage-specific molecular responses to fungal infection based on time-series data at 0, 3, and 7 days post inoculation
• Investigate correlations between flavonoid biosynthesis gene expression and metabolite accumulation based on the described link between 4CL/F3H genes and luteolin/apigenin
• Compare defense mechanisms between resistant and susceptible plant genotypes based on the analysis of 'No. 35' and 'No. 37' genotypes

Strengths

• Dataset includes 30,125 differentially expressed genes and 356 differentially accumulated metabolites, providing a multi-omics view
• Analysis covers three distinct time points (0, 3, and 7 days post inoculation) enabling dynamic response tracking
• Data is derived from a controlled experiment comparing resistant and susceptible genotypes, allowing for comparative analysis

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 at 1.2 MB, potentially limiting the depth of raw underlying data
