Table 1_Transcriptional profiling of glutathione metabolism and the glutathione redox cycl

High-throughput RNA sequencing data investigates the glutathione metabolism of Festuca sinensis grass infected with Epichloë sinensis endophyte under sodium selenite stress. The dataset, authored by Lianyu Zhou and last updated in March 2026, captures physiochemical and transcriptional profiles from plant shoots and roots over a 3-day period. Pot trials treated plants with 0, 20, and 50 mg/L Na2SeO3 to explore mechanisms of selenium tolerance enhancement.

Use Cases

• Identify differentially expressed genes related to glutathione metabolism based on endophyte infection status.
• Analyze transcriptional changes in genes like GCLC, GR, APX, and GST in response to different selenium concentrations.
• Compare temporal gene expression patterns in plant shoots versus roots over a 3-day stress period.
• Investigate the role of the Epichloë endophyte in modulating the glutathione redox cycle under metal stress.

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled pot trials with three distinct selenium treatment levels (0, 20, and 50 mg/L).
• Profiling includes both physiochemical measurements and transcriptional data from high-throughput RNA sequencing.
• Experimental design includes a temporal component with measurements taken over a period of 3 days.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small in scale at 81.1 KB, indicating a limited scope of data.
