Table 6_Integrative metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal the regulatory mechanis

Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses across five tissues (roots, stems, leaves, seeds, and fruit pericarps) of the medicinal plant Canavalia gladiata. The dataset identifies 4,405 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) and 25,597 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), revealing tissue-specific regulatory networks for bioactive compounds.

Use Cases

• Identify tissue-specific expression patterns of key structural genes (e.g., 4CL, CHS, FLS, HMGR, DXS) based on transcriptomic data.
• Analyze co-expression networks to discover candidate transcription factors (e.g., MYB, bHLH, MYC2) regulating flavonoid and terpenoid metabolism.
• Correlate metabolite abundance with antioxidant activity and total phenolic/flavonoid content assays mentioned in the description.
• Investigate the enrichment of flavonoid and terpenoid biosynthesis pathways in seeds versus other plant tissues.

Strengths

• Integrated multi-omics data covering metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles from five distinct plant tissues.
• Identifies 4,405 differentially abundant metabolites and 25,597 differentially expressed genes, providing a quantitative basis for analysis.
• Includes associated assays for antioxidant capacity and bioactive component content (total phenolics, flavonoids, terpenic acids).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
