Transcriptome sequencing and microarray design for functional genomics in the extremophile Arabidopsis relative Thellungiella salsuginea

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis thaliana is not particularly stress tolerant and may lack protective mechanisms required to survive extreme environmental conditions. Thellungiella salsuginea has therefore attracted increasing interest as an alternative plant model species that possesses high tolerance of various abiotic stresses. While the T. salsuginea genome has recently been sequenced, its annotation is still far from complete and, due to the low number of ESTs available, evidence for actual transcriptional activity is lacking for most genes. ESTs were generated from a non-normalized and a normalized library synthesized from RNA pooled from plant samples from different developmental stages and grown under abiotic stress conditions. The ESTs of Thellungiella was sequenced by 454 pyrosequencing method. More
