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

242 known miRNAs were sequenced from extracellular vesicles in the roots of the medicinal plant Huperzia serrata. The dataset compares EVs from roots grown in field rhizospheric soil versus sterilized peat moss, revealing 20 differentially expressed miRNAs. Author Na Li published this data on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify differentially expressed miRNAs based on soil treatment conditions described in the study
• Predict target genes for miRNAs based on the 183 predicted targets mentioned
• Perform functional enrichment analysis using the 295 GO terms and 26 KEGG pathways listed
• Compare miRNA family abundance (e.g., miR166, miR156) across experimental conditions

Strengths

• Dataset includes results for 242 known miRNAs with specific family member counts (e.g., 27 miR166 members)
• Functional annotation includes 295 enriched Gene Ontology terms and 26 KEGG pathways
• Clear experimental comparison between two growth conditions (rhizospheric soil vs. sterilized peat moss)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Dataset is very small (12.1 KB), indicating limited scope
