TIL Gene Family Analysis in Five Brassicaceae Species and BrTIL1 Cold Tolerance

23 Temperature-induced lipocalin (TIL) genes identified across five Brassicaceae species, including Arabidopsis thaliana and four Brassica species. The dataset, created by Zhengnan Xu and last updated in March 2026, includes analysis of gene structures, evolutionary relationships, and functional validation of the BrTIL1 gene's role in cold tolerance. It provides a foundation for studying molecular mechanisms of cold stress response in these plants.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on identified TIL gene family members across five species
• Studying gene expression under abiotic stress based on BrTIL1 upregulation data under low-temperature conditions
• Investigating protein-protein interaction networks based on the six identified BrTIL1-interacting proteins
• Functional validation of candidate genes for cold tolerance based on survival rate and enzyme activity measurements in transgenic plants

Strengths

• Analysis includes 23 TIL genes across five related plant species, enabling comparative study
• Functional validation includes specific metrics like survival rates and activities of three antioxidant enzymes (POD, CAT, SOD)
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse

Limitations

• Row count and specific column-level documentation are absent, requiring manual inspection after download
• The dataset is very small at 10.2 KB, indicating limited scope and likely summary-level data
