Poplar Gene Expression Data for WRKY11 and Lignin Biosynthesis in Disease Resistance

A 19.0 KB dataset from figshare, last updated March 18, 2026, by author Dongchen Shen. It contains results from a study on the WRKY transcription factor family in poplar, specifically investigating the role of PdpapWRKY11 in enhancing resistance to the canker-causing fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea. The data likely includes information on gene identification, phylogenetic classification, and expression analysis related to lignin biosynthesis pathways.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the evolutionary classification of WRKY transcription factors based on phylogenetic analysis mentioned in the description.
• Investigating the relationship between gene overexpression and pathogen resistance based on the study of PdpapWRKY11.
• Studying the activation of phenylpropanoid pathway genes (PAL, CAD) and lignin accumulation in response to fungal infection.
• Validating gene family identification methods based on the use of BLASTp and Hidden Markov Model screening described.

Strengths

• Data is derived from integrated genome-wide identification and molecular functional validation, as described.
• The study systematically identified 102 WRKY genes (PtrWRKYs) in Populus trichocarpa.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 19.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
