Antifungal Activity of Chaetomium subaffine LB-1 Against Southern Corn Leaf Blight

71.34% control efficacy against southern corn leaf blight was achieved in potted maize plant assays using a culture filtrate from the biocontrol fungus Chaetomium subaffine LB-1. Transcriptome analysis identified 4,124 differentially expressed genes in the pathogen Bipolaris maydis, revealing downregulation in nutrient uptake and upregulation in detoxification pathways. This dataset, authored by Caiyun Liu and last updated in May 2026, comprises a 363.9 KB DOCX file describing the experimental methods and results.

Use Cases

• Training models to predict antifungal efficacy based on transcriptomic response patterns described in the study.
• Analyzing gene expression changes in plant pathogens under biocontrol agent stress.
• Studying the interaction mechanisms between biocontrol fungi and specific crop diseases like southern corn leaf blight.

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results, such as a 71.34% control efficacy rate and 4,124 differentially expressed genes.
• Experimental validation combines in vitro assays, potted plant tests, and transcriptome analysis.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The 363.9 KB size suggests the dataset is a document describing the study rather than a primary data repository.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data structure must be inferred from the text.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-05-20).
