SlBL4: RNA-Seq Data on Leaf Polarity Genes in Tomato

A 19.0 KB document by Nan Hu, last updated April 2026, presents RNA sequencing analysis results. The data likely contains differentially expressed genes associated with leaf polarity development in the Micro-Tom tomato cultivar, following silencing of the SlBL4 gene.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for leaf polarity regulation based on differential expression analysis.
• Investigate relationships between SlBL4 and auxin transport pathways based on mentions of auxin transporter genes.
• Study the role of LOB domain-containing proteins in plant development based on the regulation of SlLOB4.
• Analyze the coordination of chlorophyll accumulation and chloroplast development based on associated DEGs.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific gene (SlBL4) and a defined plant cultivar (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Micro-Tom).
• The description cites specific regulated genes (SlGH3.1, SlGH3.2, SlLOB4) providing concrete biological context.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (19.0 KB), suggesting it contains summary results rather than raw sequencing data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
