Subject	Plant Science: Plant Physiology
Specific subject area	The effect of two plant biostimulants (PBs) Elice16Indures® and Fitokondi® were examined to stimulate the enhanced normalized difference vegetation index (ENDVI) and defense response processes of pea (Pisum sativum subsp. sativum) in the field.

How the data were acquired	Seeds of P. sativum subsp. sativum cultivar ‘Angela’ were sown in experimental plots in four replicates and treated with two types of PBs. During the cultivation period plants were treated three times at BBCH16, BBCH51 and BBCH67 stages with Elice16Indures 20 g ha−1 (‘E20’), Elice16Indures 240 g ha−1 (‘E240’) and as a positive control, Fitokondi (‘F’) 4 l ha−1 (the normal field dose) biostimulators. Leaf samples were collected after the last treatment at BBCH74 stage. Samples were sequenced by the Illumina NextSeq550 platform and next generation sequencing (NGS) libraries were prepared using 14.6-17.5M single-end reads. Using de novo assembly a combined transcript dataset was gained (total transcripts: 7,513; total genes: 6,897) that was examined by pairwise differential expression (DEG) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Functional annotation and Gene Ontology (GO) analyses were performed according to GO terms of molecular function, cellular component and biological process.

Description of data collection	Leaves of untreated (control) and treated (Elice16Indures 20 g ha−1, Elice16Indures 240 g ha−1 and Fitokondi 4 l ha−1) pea plants were collected at BBCH74 stages and were stored in RNA Shield at -25°C until sequencing. Sequencing was performed by a third party, Xenovea Ltd, Szeged, Hungary.
