Carrot TCP Transcription Factor Family: 50 Genes with Expression and Phylogenetic Analysis

Jian-Hua Zhou's 2026 study provides a genome-wide identification and analysis of the TCP transcription factor family in carrot (Daucus carota L.). The dataset includes 50 DcTCP genes, with details on protein properties, phylogenetic classification, chromosomal localization, and expression patterns during root development. The data is hosted on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic classification of plant transcription factors based on the PCF, CIN, and CYC/TB1 subfamilies identified.
• Analysis of gene expression patterns during carrot root development based on the described stage-specific expression.
• Investigation of cis-regulatory elements for light, stress, and hormone response pathways mentioned in the description.
• Study of gene family expansion mechanisms based on the whole-genome duplication (WGD) analysis.
• Prediction of regulatory networks involving miRNAs and protein-protein interactions, such as those involving miR319.

Strengths

• Contains 50 identified DcTCP genes with specific protein molecular weight ranges (6056 to 53,512.5 Da).
• Phylogenetic analysis classifies genes into three subfamilies, with the PCF subfamily containing 36 members (72% of the total).
• Expression pattern analysis provides insights into specific genes (e.g., DcTCP33, DcTCP37) active during root development.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a 1.5 MB DOCX document, which may require extraction or conversion for computational analysis.
