Gibberellin Biosynthesis Mutant Phenotypes in Lotus japonicus

The dataset documents the characterization of Lotus japonicus LORE1 transposon insertion mutants in four key gibberellin biosynthetic genes: CPS, KS, KO, and KAO. It includes developmental phenotypes and arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization data, specifically arbuscule distribution and total colonization levels. The data is contained in a 32.9 KB DOCX file.

Use Cases

• Analyze the effect of mutations in CPS1, KS1, KO1, and KAO1 genes on arbuscule distribution patterns within AM symbioses.
• Correlate developmental phenotypes of gibberellin biosynthesis mutants with their total AM colonisation levels.
• Identify the single major homolog for each gibberellin biosynthetic gene (CPS, KS, KO, KAO) based on mutant characterization data.

Strengths

• Focuses on four specific gibberellin biosynthetic genes (CPS, KS, KO, KAO) with identified major homologs.
• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed study on gibberellin function in AM symbiosis, published on figshare.
• Available under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 32.9 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary table rather than raw experimental data.
• Data structure is unknown; column names and sample data are unavailable, complicating direct analysis.
• The file format is DOCX, which is not ideal for programmatic data extraction and requires manual processing.
