Complete chloroplast genome of the medicinal plant : comparative analysis, identification of mutational hotspots and evolutionary dynamics with species of Solanales.

Unlabelled: , belonging to the family Convolvulaceae, is an important medicinal plant widely used as a nootropic in the Indian traditional medicine system. In the genus , no research on the chloroplast genome has been published. Hence, the present study focuses on annotation, characterization, identification of mutational hotspots, and phylogenetic analysis in the complete chloroplast genome (cp) of .

Data on large cardamom transcriptome associated with Chirke disease.

Large cardamom ( Roxburg), is an ancient spice native to North-Eastern India and Southeast Asia, which belongs to the family under the order Large cardamom is mostly affected by a viral disease termed Chirke caused by Large Cardamom Chirke Virus (LCCV). These disease has spread due to drastic changes in the ecosystem, inadequate rain in dry months and absence of good agricultural practices by the farmers resulting in aphid infestations. In the present study, using HiSeq™ 2000 RNA sequencing technology transcriptome sequencing was performed for both control (disease not expressed) and diseased large cardamom leaf tissues.

Data on small cardamom transcriptome associated with capsule rot disease.

Small cardamom ( (L.) Maton, also known as the '' is a rhizomatous herbaceous monocot from the family Zingiberaceae. In the present study, using HiSeq™ 2000 RNA sequencing technology, transcriptome sequencing was performed for both control and disease stressed small cardamom leaf tissues.

Deep sequencing identified potential miRNAs involved in defence response, stress and plant growth characteristics of wild genotypes of cardamom.

Cardamom has long been used as a food flavouring agent and in ayurvedic medicines for mouth ulcers, digestive problems and even depression. Extensive occurrence of pests and diseases adversely affect its cultivation and result in substantial reductions in total production and productivity. Numerous studies revealed the significant role of miRNAs in plant biotic stress responses.

Data on identification of conserved and novel miRNAs in .

(L.) Maton, or small cardamom referred as 'queen of spices', is a perennial herbaceous rhizomatous monocot of the family Zingiberaceae. Cardamom seeds and fruits are the economically significant parts and effectively used as a traditional medicine, food additive and flavoring agent.
