Maize Response to High-Temperature Stress with Melatonin Treatment

Field experiment data on the effects of exogenous melatonin on maize under post-flowering high-temperature stress. The dataset likely contains agronomic, physiological, and transcriptomic measurements from a study by Feiyan Ju, last updated in April 2026. It is a small dataset of 9.4 KB.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the effect of melatonin concentration on photosynthetic rate based on the described physiological measurements.
• Modeling the relationship between antioxidant enzyme activity and high-temperature stress mitigation described in the results.
• Investigating gene expression patterns related to photosynthetic and antioxidant defense systems mentioned in the transcriptomic analysis.

Strengths

• Data is derived from integrated agronomic, physiological, and transcriptomic approaches as described.
• The optimal mitigating effect was identified for the 150 µmol L-1 melatonin treatment.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

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 9.4 KB, indicating limited scope.
