Transcriptomic profiles datasets of oil-producing leaves from Dryobalanops aromatica and Dryobalanops lanceolata

The transcriptomic data for both D. aromatica and D. lanceolata was generated using the Illumina HiSeq4000 platform in NovogenAIT, Singapore. The data is beneficial for comparative transcriptome studies to understand more the molecular mechanism differences as to the oil yielding from leaves of the two species which showed the widest genetic distances within the genus.
