Transcriptomic dataset of cultivated (Sesamum indicum), wild (S. mulayanum), and interspecific hybrid sesame in response to induced Macrophomina phaseolina infection.

ABSTRACT: We report here the data of transcriptome sequencing of control and infected sesame genotypes. Sesame is an emerging oilseed crop [1]. The destructive soil-borne fungi Macrophomina phaseolina Tassi (Goid) causes charcoal rot of sesame, leading to high (>50%) yield loss. Most of the high-yielding sesame cultivars (Sesamum indicum) of India are susceptible to charcoal rot. Wild sesame, Sesamum mulayanum shows a high degree of tolerance against many pathogens [2]. We have earlier developed an interspecific hybrid between Indian cultivated sesame and S. mulayanum. The parents and the F₆ recombinant constitute the three experimental genotypes in the present report. The seedlings were infected with M. phaseolina. The data of the infected and control (
