TIL Gene Family in Five Brassicaceae Species and BrTIL1 Cold Tolerance Analysis

A 12.2 KB Excel file contains a comparative analysis of the Temperature-induced lipocalin (TIL) gene family across five Brassicaceae species, identifying 23 TIL genes. The dataset includes results from a functional study of the Brassica rapa TIL1 (BrTIL1) gene, which was validated to enhance cold tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. The data was authored by Zhengnan Xu and last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on identified TIL gene structures and evolutionary relationships.
• Studying gene expression under abiotic stress based on BrTIL1 upregulation data under low-temperature conditions.
• Identifying protein-protein interaction networks based on the six BrTIL1-interacting proteins discovered via yeast two-hybrid screening.
• Validating gene function in model organisms based on the cold tolerance phenotype observed in BrTIL1-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants.

Strengths

• Includes a systematic analysis of the TIL gene family across five related plant species.
• Functional validation data is present, showing specific physiological metrics like survival rates and enzyme activities (POD, CAT, SOD).
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (12.2 KB), indicating limited scope, likely containing summary analysis rather than raw experimental data.
