De novo assembly and characterisation of the field pea transcriptome using RNA-Seq.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a cool-season grain legume that is cultivated world-wide for both human consumption and stock-feed purposes. Enhancement of genetic and genomic resources for field pea will permit improved understanding of the control of traits relevant to crop productivity and quality. Advances in second-generation sequencing and associated bioinformatics analysis now provide unprecedented opportunities for the development of such resources. The objective of this study was to perform transcriptome sequencing and characterisation from two genotypes of field pea that differ in terms of seed and plant morphological characteristics.

Results

Transcriptome sequencing was performed with RNA templates from multiple tissues of the field pea genotypes Kaspa
