Dataset Information

Dataset for the combined transcriptome assembly of M. oleifera and functional annotation.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present the data acquired during transcriptome analysis of the plant Moringa oleifera [1] from five different tissues (root, stem, leaf, flower and seed) by RNA sequencing. A total of 271 million reads were assembled with an N50 of 2094?bp. The combined transcriptome was assessed for transcript abundance across five tissues. The protein coding genes identified from the transcripts were annotated and used for orthology analysis. Further, enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of select medicinally important secondary metabolites, vitamins and ion transporters were identified and their expression levels across tissues were examined. The data generated by RNA sequencing has been deposited to NCBI public repository under the accession number PRJNA394193 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA394193).

Project description:The coconut rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros L. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) is one of the world's most important endemic and incessant pests of coconut (particularly in India and Southeast Asia), causing an estimated 10% yield loss in the crop. Various management strategies formulated and implemented to control this pest include bioagents, insecticide sprays, liquid formulations, pheromone traps, and botanical formulations. Also, potential microbial bioagents viz., Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus (OrNV) and Metarhizium anisopliae have been implemented as biological control agents and this has led to a beneficial reduction of the pest population unless significant immigration occurs. To date, research and development activities are still on-going for the successful management of the pest; yet advances in understanding at the molecular level have been limited because basic genomic information is lacking for this cosmopolitan pest. Transcriptome approach has been proved extremely useful in finding potential genes for pest control. Transcriptome analysis aids in gaining insights into the transcriptional changes which occur during different developmental stages of an organism. We have performed RNA sequencing of certain different developmental stages of O. rhinoceros viz., early instar larva, late instar larva, pupa, and adult, in an Illumina HiSeq™ 2500 platform. Due to the unavailability of O. rhinoceros genome, the RNA-seq data generated were assembled de novo using Trinity and annotated following redundancy removal. A dataset of 87,451 transcripts, which resulted after redundancy removal, were annotated using the NCBI non-redundant (nr) protein and Uniprot databases. The data furnished could be used by others working in the development of pest management strategies, especially the identification of molecular targets for effective pest control. This information allows a better understanding of O. rhinoceros biology which would contribute to outlining a new generation of stage-specific, environmentally friendly pest management techniques.

Project description:Pines are the most important tree species to the international forestry industry, covering 42 % of the global industrial forest plantation area. One of the most pressing threats to cultivation of some pine species is the pitch canker fungus, Fusarium circinatum, which can have devastating effects in both the field and nursery. Investigation of the Pinus-F. circinatum host-pathogen interaction is crucial for development of effective disease management strategies. As with many non-model organisms, investigation of host-pathogen interactions in pine species is hampered by limited genomic resources. This was partially alleviated through release of the 22 Gbp Pinus taeda v1.01 genome sequence ( http://pinegenome.org/pinerefseq/ ) in 2014. Despite the fact that the fragmented state of the genome may hamper comprehensive transcriptome analysis, it is possible to leverage the inherent redundancy resulting from deep RNA sequencing with Illumina short reads to assemble transcripts in the absence of a completed reference sequence. These data can then be integrated with available genomic data to produce a comprehensive transcriptome resource. The aim of this study was to provide a foundation for gene expression analysis of disease response mechanisms in Pinus patula through transcriptome assembly.Eighteen de novo and two reference based assemblies were produced for P. patula shoot tissue. For this purpose three transcriptome assemblers, Trinity, Velvet/OASES and SOAPdenovo-Trans, were used to maximise diversity and completeness of assembled transcripts. Redundancy in the assembly was reduced using the EvidentialGene pipeline. The resulting 52 Mb P. patula v1.0 shoot transcriptome consists of 52 112 unigenes, 60 % of which could be functionally annotated.The assembled transcriptome will serve as a major genomic resource for future investigation of P. patula and represents the largest gene catalogue produced to date for this species. Furthermore, this assembly can help detect gene-based genetic markers for P. patula and the comparative assembly workflow could be applied to generate similar resources for other non-model species.
