Rhizosphere Microbiome and Transcriptome in Clubroot-Susceptible and Resistant Rapeseed

China's rapeseed industry faces severe threats from clubroot disease, affecting over 667,000 hectares annually. This dataset compares soil properties, rhizosphere microbial communities, and transcriptomic responses between a susceptible (HYZ62) and a resistant (HYZ5R) rapeseed variety following Plasmodiophora brassicae infection. It was authored by Jingjing Liao and shared on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, last updated on 2026-04-21.

Use Cases

• Identify microbial taxa associated with disease resistance based on relative abundance data for genera like Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia and Trichoderma.
• Analyze differential gene expression patterns related to plant immunity, such as CML, WRKY, and PR1 genes.
• Correlate soil physicochemical properties, like electrical conductivity and alkali-hydrolysable nitrogen, with plant health outcomes.
• Investigate the suppression of defense-related secondary metabolic pathways, such as phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, upon pathogen infection.

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative measurements, such as a disease index of 54.86 for the susceptible variety and 17.05 for the resistant variety.
• Reports concrete fold-changes, like electrical conductivity in the resistant variety being 1.73 times that of the susceptible variety in inoculated treatments.
• Compares multiple data layers: soil properties, microbiome composition, and host transcriptome.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (29.4 KB), suggesting limited scope or summary-level data.
