Transcriptome dataset for comparative analysis of differentially expressed genes between wild type and transgenic potato plants overexpressing Nuclear Factor Y subunit A7.

Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) is divided into three different types of subunits, A, B, and C. NF-Ys play crucial roles in plants for controlling gene expression associated with various developmental processes and abiotic stresses, but it is mostly unknown the downstream genes regulated by NF-Ys in plant. One of the potato NF-Y genes, , increased potato's drought tolerance when overexpressed under the control of constitutive promoter.
