Transcriptome of the Sweetpotato Cultivar 'Tongchaeru' and its Stem Mutant
The sweetpotato cultivar Tongchaeru holds significant agricultural utility and market value in Korea. Developed by the Bioenergy Crop Research Institute of the National Institute of Crop Science in 2020, this cultivar is renowned for its high yield and rich nutritional content in both leaves and petioles, making it ideal for vegetable use. Its exceptional traits led to the registration of its plant variety protection right in 2021 (Registration number: 8788) at the SEED & VARIETY SERVICE. Additionally, Tongchaeru has been registered as germplasm (Accession ID: IT327308) at the National Agrobiodiversity Center, National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Rural Development Administration. The RNAseq data of Tongchaeru will provide valuable insights into the genetic basis of its beneficial traits and support further agricultural research and development. Total RNA was extracted from the healthy stem tissue of three WT plants and from three gamma ray-induced mutant plants of M1V3 generation, grown for 30 DAP.
