ARM Gene Family in Wheat: Identification, Expression, and Stress Response Analysis

A 2026 study by Jingxu Li identified 32 ARM repeat genes in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and analyzed their evolution and stress responses. The dataset includes gene identification, classification, and expression data for ARM genes across six plant species, totaling 98 genes. Analysis includes phylogeny, cis-acting elements, and qRT-PCR validation of stress responses.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis of ARM gene family evolution across six plant species based on the described gene set.
• Identification of candidate genes for wheat stress tolerance breeding based on the described expression responses to powdery mildew, stripe rust, and low temperature.
• Study of gene family expansion mechanisms in polyploid crops based on the analysis of segmental duplications and purifying selection.
• Prediction of cis-regulatory elements involved in abiotic stress response based on the described promoter analysis.

Strengths

• Includes a specific count of 98 ARM genes identified across six plant species, with 32 from Triticum aestivum.
• Analysis integrates multiple methods: gene identification, phylogeny, cis-element prediction, RNA-seq, and qRT-PCR validation.
• Results identify specific gene responses, such as TaARM13 and TaARM22 responding to biotic stresses and TaARM26 to low-temperature stress.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (14.4 KB), indicating limited raw data scope.
