Comparative analysis of whole flower transcriptomes in the Zingiberales.

ABSTRACT: The advancement of next generation sequencing technologies (NGS) has revolutionized our ability to generate large quantities of data at a genomic scale. Despite great challenges, these new sequencing technologies have empowered scientists to explore various relevant biological questions on non-model organisms, even in the absence of a complete sequenced reference genome. Here, we analyzed whole flower transcriptome libraries from exemplar species across the monocot order Zingiberales, using a comparative approach in order to gain insight into the evolution of the molecular mechanisms underlying flower development in the group. We identified 4,153 coding genes shared by all floral transcriptomes analyzed, and 1,748 genes that are only retrieved in the Zingiberales. We also identified 666 ge
