Poplar WRKY Gene Family Data for Canker Resistance Research

A study on the WRKY transcription factor family in poplar and its role in resistance to Botryosphaeria dothidea canker. The research identifies 102 WRKY genes in Populus trichocarpa and validates the function of PdpapWRKY11 in enhancing disease resistance through lignin biosynthesis. The dataset, authored by Dongchen Shen and last updated in March 2026, is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Training models to predict gene function based on phylogenetic classification and motif combinations.
• Analyzing the relationship between transcription factor expression and lignin biosynthesis pathway activation.
• Studying gene family evolution driven by segmental duplication events and cis-regulatory elements.

Strengths

• The study includes genome-wide identification of 102 WRKY genes.
• Functional validation was performed using a transgenic poplar interaction system.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
