Table 3_Transcriptional regulation of root development in cacao: a genome-wide comparative

A transcriptomic dataset from a study comparing root development in cacao seedlings. The data includes genome-wide RNA-seq profiles from four seedling types, identifying 12,979 differentially expressed genes and over 900 transcription factors. The dataset was authored by Rolande Eugenie Ango Makondy and last updated on 2026-06-03.

Use Cases

• Identify differentially expressed transcription factors based on the AP2/ERF, MYB, NAC, LOB, GNAT, SET, and WRKY families mentioned in the description.
• Analyze pathways related to amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism, phytohormone signaling, and MAPK cascades described in the transcriptomic results.
• Compare gene expression patterns between lateral-rootless and normal somatic embryo-derived seedlings (SES) to study developmental defects.
• Investigate transcriptional reprogramming associated with in vitro culture stress in somatic embryo-derived seedlings as discussed in the study.

Strengths

• Identifies 12,979 differentially expressed genes, providing a broad view of transcriptional changes.
• Profiles over 900 transcription factors across multiple families, offering specific regulatory targets.
• Compares four distinct seedling types (4-day-old ZES, 7-day-old ZES, lateral-rootless SES, and normal SES) for developmental analysis.

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 small (123.3 KB), indicating a limited scope, likely containing summary results rather than raw sequencing data.
