| Summary: | The sunflower (<i>Helianthus annuus</i>), which belongs to the family of Asteraceae, is a crop grown worldwide for consumption by humans and livestock. Interspecific hybridization is widespread for sunflowers both in wild populations and commercial breeding. The current dataset comprises 250 bp and 76 paired-end NGS reads for six interspecific sunflower hybrids (F1). The dataset aimed to expand <i>Helianthus</i> species genomic information and benefit genetic research, and is useful in alloploids’ features investigations and nuclear–organelle interactions studies. Mitochondrial genomes of perennial sunflower hybrids <i>H. annuus</i> × <i>H. strumosus</i> and <i>H. annuus × H. occidentalis</i> were assembled and compared with parental forms. |
