Soybean Terpene Synthase Pan-Genome Analysis from 27 Genomes

A pan-genomic survey of 27 soybean genomes identified 26 terpene synthase (TPS) loci, classified by conservation status. The dataset, created by Taotao Han and last updated in May 2026, includes phylogenetic and selection analysis data, with functional characterization results for the core gene GmTPS20. The file is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Study genetic diversity and evolutionary selection of terpene synthase genes based on the pan-genome survey of 27 genomes.
• Identify candidate genes for plant defense engineering based on expression profiles under herbivory and methyl jasmonate treatment.
• Analyze enzyme-substrate specificity and catalytic mechanisms based on in vitro assays with GPP, NPP, and FPP isomers.
• Compare protein structure-function relationships based on structural docking results for GmTPS20 and GmTPS15.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a defined pan-genome survey of 27 soybean genomes.
• Includes results from multiple experimental methods: expression profiling, enzyme assays, and structural docking.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 17.4 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.
