Pinellia Ternata Alkaloid Biosynthesis: Key Genes and Functional Verification

Transcriptomic data from a study identifying key genes in the alkaloid biosynthesis pathway of Pinellia ternata. The dataset likely contains results from LC-MS analysis and transcriptome sequencing, which yielded 63,106 unigenes. It was authored by Yanyan Pei and last updated on 2026-04-28.

Use Cases

• Identify differentially expressed genes related to alkaloid synthesis based on transcriptomic profiling.
• Analyze gene expression patterns for key enzymes like MAO, NCS I, NCS II, and TyrAT between two cultivated varieties.
• Investigate the molecular framework for alkaloid biosynthesis regulation based on predicted pathways.
• Validate gene function in alkaloid metabolism using results from overexpression experiments in callus.

Strengths

• Includes results from transcriptome sequencing yielding 63,106 unigenes.
• Functional verification of key genes (e.g., MAO, NCS II, TyrAT) via overexpression experiments is described.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (10.6 KB), indicating limited scope.
