Cynodon Dactylon Submergence Responses with Gas Film and Metabolite Data

A dataset from a study investigating leaf gas film effects on submergence tolerance in Cynodon dactylon. It includes physiological measurements, non-structural carbohydrate analysis, and targeted metabolomics for plants submerged with or without gas films. The data was authored by Feixue Xia and last updated on June 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between leaf gas films and oxygen availability based on physiological measurements.
• Analyzing shifts in central carbon metabolism pathways based on targeted metabolomics profiles.
• Comparing carbohydrate consumption rates between submerged plants with and without gas films.
• Studying the temporal persistence of an adaptive mechanism based on the seven-day gas film window.

Strengths

• Integrates three data modalities: physiological measurements, carbohydrate analysis, and targeted metabolomics.
• Documents a specific, measurable adaptive mechanism with gas films persisting for approximately seven days.
• Data is openly shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset size is 28.5 KB, indicating very limited scope and likely a small sample size.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The primary data file is a DOCX document, which may not be an optimal format for structured data analysis.
