Huperzia Serrata Root Extracellular Vesicle miRNA Profiles Under Soil Treatment

Na Li published a dataset on figshare in 2026 comparing extracellular vesicles (EVs) from Huperzia serrata roots grown in rhizospheric soil versus sterilized peat moss. The data includes miRNA sequencing results, identifying 242 known miRNAs and 20 differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs). It provides predicted target genes for 12 DE-miRNAs and their functional annotations via GO and KEGG enrichment analyses.

Use Cases

• Compare extracellular vesicle physical properties based on soil treatment conditions described in the study.
• Analyze miRNA family expression profiles, such as miR166 and miR156, across different growth environments.
• Investigate predicted target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs for functional enrichment in biological processes.
• Study the role of transcription factors in plant-soil microbe interactions based on the predicted target gene list.

Strengths

• Dataset includes results for 242 known miRNAs with specific counts for families like miR166 (27 members).
• Provides functional annotation for predicted target genes with 295 enriched Gene Ontology terms and 26 KEGG pathways.
• Clear experimental comparison between two growth conditions (rhizospheric soil vs. sterilized peat moss).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
