De novo transcriptome sequencing of two cultivated jute species under salinity stress
Yueyuan NO.5, an important cultivar in China of C. capsularis L. (named YY) and NY/253C, a accession of C. olitorius L. (named NY) originated from China were hydroponically cultivated at 25C–28C in Yoshida nutrient solution in a greenhouse. And the salt tolerance of YY was only slightly better than that of NY. At the nine-leaf stage, six uniform seedlings of each species were selected; three were treated with 250 mM NaCl and the other three served as controls. After 12 h, the roots and leaves were collected for RNA extraction.
