Intra-specific genetic diversity, phylogenetic analysis and ecological preferences of Benth across Nigeria based on dataset.

Benth., commonly referred to as "African oil bean"; is a leguminous tree species that belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the family Fabaceae and it is native to the dry tropical rainforest forest of West to Central Africa. It is widely used as a resource for food, medicine, firewood, construction, arts, and craft and particularly of socio-economic and cultural value to indigenous people of southern, Nigeria.

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.

rbcL-based dataset on intra-specific diversity and conservation of L. (Malvaceae) in the savannah belt of Nigeria.

The African baobab species belong to the family Malvaceae and the genus . The disjointed tree thrives in arid or semi-arid regions, is native to the thorn woodlands of Africa, along tracks, and is associated with human-populated forest areas. It is considered indigenous to Central and West Africa and has been introduced to the Arabian Peninsula, South-East Asia, the Indian sub-continent, and the Caribbeans.

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.
