Cyamopsis tetragonoloba  (L) endosperm predominantly contains guar gum a polysaccharide, which has tremendous industrial applications in food, textile, paper, oil drilling and water treatment. In order to understand the genes controlling galactomannan biosynthesis, mRNA was isolated from seeds collected at different developmental stages; young pods, mature pods and young leaf from two guar varieties, HG365 and HG870 and subjected to Illumina sequencing.  De novo  assembly of fourteen individual read files from two varieties of guar representing seven developmental stages gave a total of 1,13,607 contigs with an N50 of 1,244 bases. Annotation of assemblies with GO mapping revealed three levels of distribution, namely, Biological Processes, Molecular Functions and Cellular Components. GO studies identified major genes involved in galactomannan biosynthesis: Cellulose synthase D1 (CS D1) and GAUT-like gene families. Among the polysaccharide biosynthetic process (GO:0000271) genes the transcript abundance for CS was found to be predominantly more in leaf samples, whereas, the transcript abundance for GAUT-like steadily increased from 65% to 90% and above from stage1 to stage5 indicating accumulation of galactomannan in developing seeds; and validated by qRT-PCR analysis. Galactomannan quantification by HPLC showed HG365 (12.98–20.66%) and HG870 (7.035–41.2%) gradually increasing from stage1 to stage 5 (10–50 DAA) and highest accumulation occurred in mature and dry seeds with 3.8 to 7.1 fold increase, respectively. This is the first report of transcriptome sequencing and complete profiling of guar seeds at different developmental stages, young pods, mature pods and young leaf material from two commercially important Indian varieties and elucidation of galactomannan biosynthesis pathway. It is envisaged that the data presented herein will be very useful for improvement of guar through biotechnological interventions in future.
