organism: Styphnolobium japonicum
description:  Sophora japonica is a species of small tree or shrubin the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae. Styphnolobium japonicum is native to eastern Asia (mainly China, despite the name; it was introduced in Japan). It is a popular ornamental tree for its white flowers, borne in late summer after most other flowering trees have long finished flowering. It grows into a lofty tree 10–20 m tall with an equal spread, and produces a fine, dark brown timber.
    The tree was grown in the memorial hall for eight outstanding artists in YangZhou, Jiangsu Province, China. Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol method (Invitrogen) from three different tissues of S. japonica plant, including tender shoots, young leaves and flower buds. 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.
