Raw sequence reads of F2 population derived from the cross between Solanum lycopersicum cv. VF36 and Solanum pennellii LA0716

Acylsugars, specialized metabolites with defense activities, are secreted by trichomes of many solanaceous plants. We identified differentially expressed genes between high- and low-acylsugar-producing F2 plants derived from a cross between Solanum lycopersicum and S. pennellii, which produce acylsugars ~1% and ~20% of leaf dry weight, respectively.
