NRAMP Gene Family in Wheat and Ancestral Species with Cadmium Stress Response

106 NRAMP gene members identified across wheat and its five ancestral species, including 29 in common wheat. The dataset, authored by Leilei Shao and last updated in May 2026, includes preliminary functional studies of TaNRAMP005 and TaNRAMP006 under cadmium stress. Heterologous expression in yeast showed these genes enhance cadmium tolerance.

Use Cases

• Analyze evolutionary trajectories of metal transporter genes based on identified NRAMP members across ancestral genomes.
• Study gene expression patterns under cadmium stress based on the upregulation of TaNRAMP005 and TaNRAMP006.
• Identify candidate genes for improving crop tolerance based on the functional validation in yeast.
• Perform promoter analysis for stress and hormone response elements based on the GO annotation results.

Strengths

• Identifies 106 specific NRAMP gene members across multiple species.
• Includes functional validation results for two genes (TaNRAMP005 and TaNRAMP006) via yeast expression tests.
• Released under a CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating open reuse.

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 very small (11.0 KB), suggesting limited scope or summary-level data.
