Intra-specific genetic variability dataset on gene in Lam. (Moringaceae) in Nigeria.

is an underutilized perennial tree and is widely cultivated and studied due to its multi-purpose uses. Currently, not much information exists about the (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit) gene sequence in The gene is a conserved chloroplast gene and hence can be used for phylogenetic studies of plants at higher and lower taxonomic levels. The data consists of twenty-two gene sequences, nucleotide, and amino acid compositions of collected from sixteen states across Nigeria.

rbcL gene dataset on intra-specific genetic variability and phylogenetic relationship of (Benth) S. Moore. (Asteraceae) in Nigeria.

(Benth) S. Moore (Asteraceae) commonly called "thickhead" is underutilised, indigenous to the rainforest of West and Central Africa but has also been introduced and naturalised throughout tropical and sub-tropical Asia, Australia, Tonga and Samoa. The species is an important medicinal and leafy vegetable endemic to the South-western region of Nigeria.

Dataset on rbcL-based intra-specific diversity of Benth: (Apocynaceae) in South-East Nigeria.

(Apocynaceae) is a versatile plant of nutritional and medicinal value and is widely distributed and endemic to the South-Eastern region of Nigeria. The plant is relatively wild and its natural habitat is threatened by deforestation, excessive exploitation and constant expansion of the urban areas into its endemic space. Hence, there is a need to understand its genetic diversity for breeding and conservation.
