Canavalia Gladiata Metabolite and Gene Expression Profiles Across Five Tissues

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 accumulated metabolites (DAMs) and 25,597 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), revealing tissue-specific regulatory networks for flavonoid and terpenoid biosynthesis. The data was published by author Yue Gao on the figshare platform under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify tissue-specific expression patterns of key structural genes (e.g., 4CL, CHS, FLS, HMGR, DXS) based on the transcriptomic data.
• Analyze co-expression networks to discover candidate regulatory modules involving MYB, bHLH, and MYC2 transcription factors based on the integrated analysis.
• Correlate metabolite accumulation (e.g., total flavonoids, terpenic acids) with antioxidant activity assays across different plant tissues.
• Investigate the regulatory mechanisms underlying flavonoid and terpenoid biosynthesis pathways enriched in seed versus other tissue comparisons.

Strengths

• Integrated multi-omics data covering metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles from five distinct plant tissues.
• Identifies 4,405 differentially accumulated 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

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (9.8 KB), suggesting it may contain summary or processed results rather than raw sequencing or spectral data.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data structure and completeness require manual inspection after download.
