GRAS Transcription Factors in Panax Quinquefolius for Cold Tolerance Analysis

123 GRAS transcription factor members identified in the medicinal herb Panax quinquefolius, classified into 13 subfamilies. The dataset, created by Junmei Lian and last updated in May 2026, provides the first genome-wide characterization of these genes. Transcriptomic profiling suggests the PAT1 and DELLA subfamilies may coordinate stress-adaptive responses, with PqGRAS086 highlighted as a candidate for cold tolerance studies.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for cold tolerance breeding based on the characterization of 123 PqGRAS members.
• Study the role of the PAT1 and DELLA subfamilies in integrating environmental and hormonal signals as suggested by transcriptomic profiling.
• Analyze the relationship between methyl jasmonate (MeJA) response and cold stress through the expression patterns of PqGRAS086.
• Conduct phylogenetic analysis of GRAS genes by comparing PqGRAS086 with known cold-tolerance regulators like VaPAT1 and PtrPAT1.

Strengths

• Identifies a specific count of 123 GRAS transcription factor members.
• Classifies genes into 13 distinct subfamilies, providing structured biological insight.
• Highlights a specific candidate gene, PqGRAS086, with experimental validation from RT-qPCR analysis.

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 small at 100.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
