Table 3: Pan-Genome Analysis of Soybean Terpene Synthase Genes

Taotao Han published a pan-genomic survey of terpene synthase (TPS) genes across 27 soybean genomes on figshare in 2026. The dataset identifies 26 TPS loci, classifies them by conservation status, and includes functional characterization data for GmTPS20 and GmTPS15. It contains results from phylogenetic analysis, Ka/Ks selection tests, expression profiling, enzyme assays, and structural docking.

Use Cases

• Identifying evolutionary selection pressures on terpene synthase genes based on Ka/Ks analysis.
• Comparing expression patterns of defense-related genes under herbivory and methyl jasmonate treatment.
• Analyzing substrate specificity and catalytic activity of monoterpene synthases based on in vitro assay results.
• Investigating the structural basis for enzyme function divergence based on active site modeling.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on a pan-genomic survey of 27 soybean genomes.
• Includes functional validation data from expression profiling, enzyme assays, and transient expression experiments.
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
