Project description:To examine the mechanisms that control flower development, we sequenced the flower bud transcriptomes of ‘High Noon’, a reblooming cultivar of P. suffruticosa × P. lutea. Both full-length isoforms and RNA-seq were sequenced in 3 floral developmental stages. A total of 15.94 Gb raw data and 457.0 million reads were generated in full-length transcript sequencing and RNA-seq.
Project description:Nephelium lappaceum (Rambutan), is one of tropical fruit in which - cultivated widely in Indonesia and has good taste and aroma. However, the transcriptomic study of rambutan has limited. In this study, we performed transcriptome assembly using paired-end Illumina technology. The assembled transcriptome was constructed using Trinity and after filtering and removal sequences redundancy produced 36,303 contigs. The contig ranged 201-11,770 bp and N50 has 1327 bp. The contig was annotated with several databases such as SwissProt, TrEMBL, and nr/nt of NCBI databases. The raw reads are deposited in the DDBJ with DRA accession number, DRA007359: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/?term=DRA007359. The assembled contigs of transcriptome are deposited in the DDBJ TSA repository with accession number IADQ01000001-IADQ01036303: ftp://ftp.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/ddbj_database/tsa/IADQ.gz and also can be accessed at http://rujakbase.id.
Project description:Nephelium lappaceum is a popular tropical fruit belonging to the Sapindaceae family. The plant originated in Malaysia and Indonesia and is commonly called rambutan. Because of its refreshing flavor and exotic appearance, rambutan is widely accepted in the World. Due to its significant medicinal properties, the fruit has also been employed in traditional medicine for centuries. The chloroplast genome of rambutan was sequenced, assembled, and annotated in the present study. The chloroplast genome length was 161,356 bp and contained 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. It possessed the typical quadripartite circle structure with a large single-copy region (86,009 bp), a small single-copy region (18,153 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (28,597 bp). A total of 35 SSR markers were found in the chloroplast genome of Nephelium lappaceum, of which 33 were monomer, 1 was dimer and 1 was tetramer. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete chloroplast genome sequences of 21 plant species showed that rambutan was closely related to Pometia tomentosa. These results provide a foundation for further phylogenetic and evolutionary studies of the Sapindaceae family.
