De novo transcriptome datasets of Shorea balangeran leaves and basal stem in waterlogged and dry soil

Shorea balangeran Burk locally known as balangeran has been widely used as recommended species for tropical peat swamp forest restoration, due to the capability of these species to grow in waterlogged and dry areas. However, the information concerning genetic basis of adaptation to ecological condition variation is limited and no transcriptome study has been reported in this context. Here we reported two sets of transcriptome data from a sample of leaf and basal stem that were taken from seedlings growing in potted media containing peat and mineral soil. The raw reads are stored in the DDBJ platform with accession number DRA008633.
