Canavalia Gladiata Metabolite and Gene Expression Profiles Across Five Tissues

Yue Gao's dataset from 2026 contains integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses of the medicinal plant Canavalia gladiata. It profiles 4,405 differentially accumulated metabolites and 25,597 differentially expressed genes across five tissues: roots, stems, leaves, seeds, and fruit pericarps. The data focuses on the biosynthesis pathways of flavonoid and terpenoid metabolites.

Use Cases

• Identify tissue-specific expression patterns for key structural genes like 4CL, CHS, FLS, HMGR, and DXS based on transcriptomic data.
• Analyze co-expression networks to discover regulatory modules involving MYB, bHLH, and MYC2 transcription factors.
• Correlate antioxidant activity and total phenolic content with metabolite profiles across different plant tissues.
• Investigate the regulatory mechanisms underlying flavonoid and terpenoid biosynthesis pathways highlighted in the study.

Strengths

• Integrated multi-omics data covering 4,405 differentially accumulated metabolites and 25,597 differentially expressed genes.
• Profiles five distinct plant tissues (roots, stems, leaves, seeds, fruit pericarps), enabling tissue-specific analysis.
• Includes associated assays for antioxidant capacity and bioactive component content mentioned in the description.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific plant samples and experimental conditions used.
