Wheat ARM Gene Family Identification and Expression Analysis Across Six Plant Species

A 2026 study by Jingxu Li identified Armadillo (ARM) repeat protein genes in six plant species, totaling 32 genes in Triticum aestivum (wheat), 8 in Triticum urartu, 13 in Aegilops tauschii, 22 in Triticum dicoccoides, 15 in Arabidopsis thaliana, and 8 in Oryza sativa ssp. japonica. The dataset includes analyses of gene structures, conserved motifs, phylogeny, and evolutionary selection. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR data demonstrate specific gene responses to biotic and abiotic stresses like powdery mildew, stripe rust, and low temperature.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on ARM gene family identification across six plant species
• Phylogenetic classification of ARM genes based on the three subfamilies (C1-C3) described
• Studying gene family expansion mechanisms based on polyploidy-driven segmental duplications mentioned
• Predicting stress-responsive cis-acting elements based on the analysis described
• Validating gene expression patterns under stress based on the RNA-seq and qRT-PCR results for specific TaARM members

Strengths

• Includes a specific count of ARM genes for six distinct plant species, providing comparative data
• Analysis covers multiple aspects: gene structure, motifs, phylogeny, and experimental validation via qRT-PCR
• 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 (10.5 KB), indicating limited scope
