SlBL4: Gene Expression Data for Tomato Leaf Polarity Study

RNA sequencing analysis from a study silencing the SlBL4 gene in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Micro-Tom). The dataset, 808.4 KB in size, was authored by Nan Hu and last updated on 2026-04-28. It includes differentially expressed genes associated with leaf polarity, auxin transporters, and chloroplast development.

Use Cases

• Identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) linked to leaf polarity development in tomato.
• Analyze gene expression patterns related to auxin transporters and LOB domain-containing proteins.
• Investigate the regulatory relationship between SlBL4 and genes like SlGH3.1, SlGH3.2, and SlLOB4.
• Study the molecular mechanisms underlying chlorophyll accumulation and chloroplast development.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed biological experiment on gene silencing.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• File size of 808.4 KB suggests a focused, manageable dataset for analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analyses.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection.
