Data of de novo assembly and functional annotation of transcriptome of Peninsular Malaysian Amomum Roxb. species

The Amomum genus comprises of perennial, tropical, herba-ceous plants that are distributed globally and possess both medicinal and ornamental properties. These plants contain a variety of secondary metabolites, including compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. This is the first transcriptomic analysis of seven Amomum species from Peninsular Malaysia, utilizing leaves, stems, and roots as sample material. Paired-end Illumina HiSeq technology was used for data generation which includes raw data, cleaned reads, de novo assembly, and functional annotation. The data is accessible via NCBI BioProject (PRJNA936673). & COPY; 2023 Published by Elsevier Inc. This is an open access article under the CC BY license ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ )
