Characterization of Hemerocallis citrina Transcriptome and Development of EST-SSR Markers for Evaluation of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Hemerocallis Collection.

ABSTRACT: Hemerocallis spp. commonly known as daylilies and night lilies, are among the most popular ornamental crops worldwide. In Eastern Asia, H. citrina is also widely cultivated as both a vegetable crop and for medicinal use. However, limited genetic and genomic resources are available in Hemerocallis. Knowledge on the genetic diversity and population structure of this species-rich genus is very limited. In this study, we reported transcriptome sequencing of H. citrina cv. 'Datonghuanghua' which is a popular, high-yielding variety in China. We mined the transcriptome data, identified and characterized the microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) sequences in the expressed genome. From ∼14.15 Gbp clean reads, we assembled 92,107 unigenes, of which 41,796 were an
