Wheat ARM Gene Family: Identification, Expression, and Stress Response Analysis

32 ARM repeat protein genes were identified in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) alongside genes from five other plant species. The dataset includes analyses of gene structure, phylogeny, and expression under biotic and abiotic stresses, validated by qRT-PCR. Author Jingxu Li published the data on figshare in April 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Study gene family expansion and evolution based on identified ARM genes across six plant species.
• Analyze stress-responsive gene expression patterns based on RNA-seq and qRT-PCR validation data.
• Investigate cis-acting regulatory elements linked to abiotic stress responses mentioned in the description.
• Compare phylogenetic relationships and conserved motifs among ARM gene subfamilies C1-C3.

Strengths

• Includes a defined set of ARM genes from six species, with exact counts provided (e.g., 32 in T. aestivum).
• Analysis integrates multiple methods: gene identification, phylogeny, cis-element prediction, and expression validation.
• Specific stress-response roles are identified for individual genes (e.g., TaARM13 response to powdery mildew).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data scale is limited to 411.4 KB, indicating a focused, non-exhaustive genomic survey.
