Fusarium lateritium Effector CREP1 Interaction Data with Host Plant Receptor NbEIX2

A dataset from figshare, authored by Yongdong He and last updated in May 2026, describes a novel fungal effector protein. The data likely contains results from experiments on the endophytic fungus Fusarium lateritium and its interaction with the host plant Nicotiana benthamiana. It documents the identification of Colonization-Related Effector Protein 1 (CREP1), its role in activating plant immunity, and its interaction with the receptor protein NbEIX2.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between effector knockout and fungal colonization rates based on the described ~70% reduction.
• Study host immune gene expression changes based on the described downregulation of defense-related genes.
• Investigate protein-protein interactions in plant immunity based on the described CREP1-NbEIX2 interaction.
• Model the link between fungal colonization and plant growth promotion based on the described ~50% decrease in growth-promoting ability.

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results, such as a ~70% reduction in colonization rate and a ~50% decrease in plant growth-promoting ability.
• Provides a clear biological mechanism by identifying the specific receptor protein NbEIX2 as the interaction partner.
• The dataset is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (2.9 MB), which may limit the scope of analysis.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
