The first transcriptome dataset of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) calyces during maturation.

ABSTRACT: Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) is recognized for its phytochemical compounds such as anthocyanins, which possess pharmacological potentials in the treatments of hypertension, diabetes, cancer, hyperlipidaemia and hyperglycaemia. The calyx is the most commercially valuable part of the roselle and usually harvested at maturation. However, genetic study to understand the transcriptome changes in the calyx during maturation has yet to be explored. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptomes of roselle calyces at maturation stages III and IV using Illumina NextSeq 500 platform. These are the two most critical maturation stages in roselle, as these stages are often associated with the quality of the calyx. Over 200 million good quality paired-end reads were generated and de novo</
