Wheat ARM Gene Family Identification and Stress Response Analysis

98 ARM repeat protein genes were identified across six plant species, including wheat and its relatives. The dataset includes analyses of gene structure, phylogeny, and evolutionary selection, with RNA-seq and qRT-PCR data validating stress responses. Author Jingxu Li published this work on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate genes for wheat breeding based on stress-responsive expression patterns.
• Study gene family expansion and evolution through polyploidy-driven segmental duplications.
• Analyze cis-acting regulatory elements to understand the molecular basis of abiotic stress response.
• Compare ARM gene family structures and conserved motifs across monocot and dicot plant species.

Strengths

• Includes 98 identified ARM genes across six species, providing a comparative genomic context.
• Integrates multiple analysis types: gene identification, phylogeny, motif analysis, and experimental validation via qRT-PCR.
• Specific genes with characterized stress responses are named, such as TaARM13 for biotic stress and TaARM26 for low-temperature stress.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 13.9 KB, indicating limited raw data scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analyses.
