Transcriptome sequence of Gleditsia sinensis
The tree was grown in an open air, in Jiangsu Province, China. Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol method (Invitrogen) from four different tissues of Gleditsia sinensis plant, including tender shoots, young leaves, flower buds and thorns. The quality and quantity of total RNA were assessed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer Nanochips and NanoDrop 2000 Spectrophotometer. Equal amounts of isolated RNA from every tissue were mixed together for cDNA preparation.
