Rhizospheric Soil Effects on Extracellular Vesicles and miRNAs in Huperzia Serrata Roots

242 known miRNAs were identified from extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the roots of Huperzia serrata. The dataset compares EVs from roots grown in field rhizospheric soil versus sterilized peat moss, analyzing 20 differentially expressed miRNAs and their predicted target genes. It was authored by Na Li and last updated on May 12, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare extracellular vesicle physical properties based on soil treatment conditions described in the study.
• Analyze miRNA family expression profiles, such as the miR166 family with 27 members.
• Investigate predicted target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs for functional enrichment analysis.
• Study the role of rhizospheric soil in altering plant root EV characteristics and cargo.

Strengths

• Includes analysis of 242 known miRNAs and identifies 20 differentially expressed miRNAs.
• Provides functional annotation via 295 enriched Gene Ontology terms and 26 KEGG pathways.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

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 (11.0 KB), indicating limited scope.
