Wheat ARM Gene Family: Identification, Expression, and Stress Response Analysis

Jingxu Li identified and analyzed Armadillo (ARM) repeat protein genes in six plant species, including wheat, on figshare. The dataset includes 32 ARM genes from Triticum aestivum (wheat) and genes from five other species, with analyses of gene structure, phylogeny, and stress responsiveness via RNA-seq and qRT-PCR. The data was last updated on 2026-04-24.

Use Cases

• Comparative phylogenetic analysis of ARM gene families across six plant species as described.
• Studying gene family expansion through polyploidy-driven segmental duplications mentioned in the genomic analysis.
• Identifying candidate genes for stress-resilient wheat breeding based on the described responses to powdery mildew, stripe rust, and low-temperature stress.
• Analyzing cis-acting regulatory elements associated with abiotic stress response as detailed in the study.

Strengths

• Includes a defined set of ARM genes from six species, with specific counts provided (e.g., 32 genes in Triticum aestivum).
• Analysis integrates multiple methods: gene identification, phylogeny, cis-element analysis, RNA-seq, and qRT-PCR validation as described.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is small (48.4 KB), indicating limited scope and likely summary-level results rather than raw sequencing data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
