Whole-transcriptome analysis of differentially expressed genes in the ray florets and disc florets of Chrysanthemum morifolium.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chrysanthemum morifolium is one of the most important global cut flower and pot plants, and has been cultivated worldwide. However, limited genomic resources are available and the molecular mechanisms involved in the two morphologically distinct floret developmental cycles in chrysanthemum remain unclear.

Results

The transcriptomes of chrysanthemum ray florets, disc florets and leaves were sequenced using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology. In total, 16.9 G reads were assembled into 93,138 unigenes with an average length of 738 bp, of which 44,364 unigenes showed similarity to known proteins in the Swissprot or NCBI non-redundant protein databases. Additionally, 26,320, 22,304 and 13,949 unigenes were assigned to 54 gene ontology (GO) categories, 25 EuKaryo
