Canavalia Gladiata Metabolite and Gene Expression Profiles Across Five Tissues

Yue Gao published a dataset on figshare in April 2026 containing integrative metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses of Canavalia gladiata. The data profiles five plant tissues—roots, stems, leaves, seeds, and fruit pericarps—to study the biosynthesis of flavonoid and terpenoid metabolites. It includes results from antioxidant capacity assays and identifies 4,405 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) and 25,597 differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Use Cases

• Identify tissue-specific expression patterns of key structural genes like 4CL, CHS, and HMGR based on transcriptomic data.
• Analyze co-expression networks to discover regulatory modules involving MYB and bHLH transcription factors.
• Correlate antioxidant activity and total phenolic content with metabolite profiles across different tissues.
• Investigate the enrichment of flavonoid and terpenoid biosynthesis pathways in seeds versus other plant tissues.

Strengths

• Integrates two omics layers—metabolomic and transcriptomic data—from the same five tissue types.
• Identifies 4,405 differentially abundant metabolites and 25,597 differentially expressed genes, providing a quantitative basis for analysis.
• Includes results from antioxidant capacity and bioactive component content assays for functional validation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
• The dataset is small (2.0 MB), which may indicate it contains summary or processed results rather than raw sequencing data.
