Dataset from RNAseq analysis of bud differentiation in Ficus carica.

The presented data regards the transcriptome profiling and differential analysis with RNA-Seq approach with the following goals: de novo transcriptome assembly and genome annotation of Ficus carica and the differential expression analysis of parthenocarpic and non-partenocarpic varieties in order to identify candidate genes for the production of seedless fig. Two fig varieties Dottato and Petrelli and the caprifig were grown at the fig repository at the 'P. Martucci' experimental station in Valenzano (Bari) of University of Bari 'Aldo Moro'. The data included: RNA-seq data obtained from fruits of parthenocarpic and non-parthenocarpic varieties, gene expression in the different genetic materials; genes up and down regulated.
