Transcriptomic Changes in Wheat Under Heat Stress and Hessian Fly Infestation

Transcriptomic profiling data from a study comparing resistant and susceptible wheat lines under normal and elevated temperatures. The dataset, authored by Lieceng Zhu and last updated in 2026, identifies 74 candidate genes associated with heat-induced susceptibility to Hessian fly infestation. It is a small dataset (18.5 KB) shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identifying candidate genes for durable wheat resistance based on the 74 susceptibility-associated genes.
• Analyzing transcriptional reprogramming in response to heat stress based on comparative transcriptomic profiles.
• Studying the interplay between auxin, salicylic acid, and OPDA defense signaling pathways based on functional annotations.
• Comparing molecular responses between near-isogenic wheat lines under different environmental conditions.

Strengths

• Identifies a specific set of 74 candidate genes consistently regulated in susceptible states.
• Compares phenotypic and molecular responses between a resistant cultivar and its susceptible near-isogenic line.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is very small (18.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
