design: RNA was extracted from five tissues of Moringa concanensis (flower, leaf, seed, root, stem) grown in IIHR, Bangalore, India. RNA integrity and concentration were evaluated on a Bionalyzer (Agilent, Inc.). Samples with RNA integrity number (RIN) 6.5 were submitted to AgriGenome Labs Pvt. Ltd. (Kochi, India) for library preparation and sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform V4 chemistry, to yield 100-bp paired-end reads.
