Poplar Gene Expression Data for Botryosphaeria Dothidea Resistance

Dongchen Shen published this dataset on figshare in March 2026. It contains results from a study on the role of the WRKY transcription factor family in poplar resistance to the canker-causing fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea. The data likely includes information on 102 identified WRKY genes, phylogenetic classifications, and gene expression measurements related to lignin biosynthesis.

Use Cases

• Training models to predict disease resistance based on WRKY gene expression patterns.
• Analyzing phylogenetic relationships within the WRKY transcription factor family in poplar.
• Investigating correlations between transcription factor activity and lignin biosynthesis gene expression.
• Studying the genetic basis of plant-pathogen interactions in a forestry context.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The study is based on integrated genome-wide identification and molecular functional validation, as described.
• The dataset is focused on a specific, well-defined biological interaction system (Pdpap–B. dothidea).

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 9.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
