Metabolomic Responses to Drought in Three European Elm Species

Metabolomic data from leaves of three native European elm species (Ulmus minor, U. laevis, and U. glabra) grown under semi-field conditions. The dataset includes untargeted LC–MS and GC–MS profiling, quantification of non-structural carbohydrates, and major phenolic classes, evaluating the effects of species, sampling date, and watering regime. It was authored by Alina Kalyniukova and last updated on 2026-05-26.

Use Cases

• Compare species-specific drought-response strategies based on metabolite profiles.
• Analyze temporal dynamics in plant metabolism based on sampling date effects.
• Investigate drought-induced changes in secondary metabolites like phenolics, flavonoids, and condensed tannins.
• Model the relationship between metabolic stability and drought tolerance among tree species.

Strengths

• Data covers three distinct European elm species (Ulmus minor, U. laevis, U. glabra) enabling comparative analysis.
• Metabolomic profiling includes both untargeted LC–MS/GC–MS and targeted quantification of specific compound classes.
• Experimental design includes two watering regimes and multiple sampling dates to separate drought from temporal effects.

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 stored as a 679.6 KB DOCX file, which may require extraction or conversion for analysis.
