Poplar Gene Expression Data for Botryosphaeria Dothidea Resistance

102 WRKY transcription factors were identified in Populus trichocarpa through genome-wide analysis. This dataset, authored by Dongchen Shen and last updated in March 2026, details the role of the PdpapWRKY11 gene in enhancing disease resistance by upregulating lignin biosynthesis pathways. The research provides foundational insights for improving poplar canker resistance.

Use Cases

• Train models to identify disease resistance genes based on WRKY transcription factor characteristics.
• Analyze evolutionary relationships and functional diversification within the WRKY gene family.
• Study the link between specific transcription factors (e.g., WRKY11) and the activation of phenylpropanoid pathway genes like PAL and CAD.
• Investigate genetic markers for enhanced lignin accumulation and pathogen resistance in poplar species.

Strengths

• Dataset is derived from integrated genome-wide identification and molecular functional validation.
• Focuses on a specific, well-defined interaction system (Pdpap–B. dothidea).
• Includes analysis of 102 identified PtrWRKYs and their phylogenetic classification.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary file format is DOC, which may require conversion for computational analysis.
