KEGG Pathway Enrichment Analysis of DEGs in Sweet Potato under Drought Stress

Supporting dataset for Figure 3: KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in sweet potato leaves under drought stress at different developmental stages. This dataset accompanies the article: **“Unveiling Stage-Specific Flavonoid Dynamics Underlying Drought Tolerance in Sweet Potato (*Ipomoea batatas* L.) via Integrative Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses”** Figure 3 displays the top 30 enriched KEGG pathways (P-value < 0.05) based on DEGs identified from three pairwise comparisons:- (a) CK vs. DS1 (drought stress during branching and tuber formation)- (b) CK vs. DS2 (drought stress during storage root expansion)- (c) DS1 vs. DS2 (developmental stage contrast under drought) Bubble plots represent the pathway name (y-axis), enrichment ratio (Rich factor, x-axis), gene count (bubble size), and statistical significance (color). KEGG pathway classifications were added for annotation purposes. ### This dataset includes:- KEGG enrichment results for each comparison- KEGG pathway classification information- R script to generate the combined bubble plot (`KEGG_pathway_enrichment_analysis_transcriptomics_plot.R`)- Output figure (`KEGG_pathway_enrichment analysis_transcriptomics_plot.pdf`)- Metadata and license files This dataset supports full reproducibility of Figure 3 and enables reuse in drought-related transcriptomic research in sweet potato.
