Cultivar-specific transcriptome pbkp_rediction and annotation in Ficus carica L.

Abstract:

The availability of transcriptomic data sequence is a key step for functional genomics studies. Recently, a repertoire of pbkp_redicted genes of a Japanese cultivar of fig (Ficus carica L.) was released. Because of the great phenotypic variability that can be found in this species, we decided to study another fig genotype, the Italian cv. Dottato, in order to perform comparative studies between the two cultivars and extend the pan genome of this species. We isolated, sequenced and assembled fig genomic DNA from young fruits of cv. Dottato. Then, putative gene sequences were pbkp_redicted and annotated. Finally, a comparison was performed between cvs. Dottato and Horaishi pbkp_redicted transcriptomes. Our data provide a resource (available at the Sequence Read Archive database under SRP109082) to be used for functional genomics of fig, in order to fill the gap of knowledge still existing in this species concerning plant development, defense and adaptation to the environment.
