Dataset of transcriptome assembly of date palm embryogenic calli and functional annotation.

ABSTRACT: Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.; 2n = 36; Arecaceae), cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions worldwide, is a staple food for people in the Middle East region and has economic value throughout the world. Tissue culture is considered as a feasible technique for the large-scale multiplication of elite date palm varieties. In this article, we report the transcriptome assembly from the embryogenic calli of Khalas variety of date palm. A total of 50,852,331 paired-end (PE) raw reads were acquired using an Illumina sequencing platform. Reference-based assembly, with date palm genome, resulted in 53251 transcripts. A total of 63888 Gene Ontology (GO) terms could be annotated from the assembled transcriptome. Also, transcription factor families and small RNAs were annotated from t
