Project name: Abelmoschus esculentus

Description: A combined leaf and pod transcriptome of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) has been produced by RNA sequencing. Assembly of 26,324,557 high-quality paired end reads comprising 4,738,420,260 bases resulted in more than 150,000 unigenes. 935 non-redundant SSR motifs identified in the unigene set and a subset of these markers was used tested for amplification and polymorphism in an okra germplasm sample.

Data type: transcriptome

Sample scope: Monoisolate
