TIL Gene Family in Five Brassicaceae Species and BrTIL1 Cold Tolerance Analysis

23 Temperature-induced lipocalin (TIL) genes identified across five Brassicaceae species, including Arabidopsis thaliana and four Brassica species. The dataset, created by Zhengnan Xu and last updated in March 2026, includes analyses of gene structures, evolutionary relationships, and functional validation of the BrTIL1 gene's role in cold tolerance.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on identified TIL gene family members across five species.
• Studying gene expression under abiotic stress based on BrTIL1 upregulation data under low-temperature conditions.
• Investigating protein-protein interaction networks based on the six identified BrTIL1-interacting proteins.
• Validating gene function in stress tolerance based on physiological data from overexpression experiments (survival rates, enzyme activities).

Strengths

• Identifies a specific set of 23 TIL genes across five related plant species.
• Includes functional validation data from overexpression experiments measuring survival rates and enzyme activities.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (13.1 KB), indicating limited scope and likely summary-level data.
