Nepenthes khasiana
In an attempt to understand the evolution of pitchers, a carnivorous trait found in three flowering plant families (Nepenthaceae, Cephalotaceae and Sarraceniaceae), we de novo assembled for the first time the transcriptome sequence of Nepenthes khasiana, an insectivorous plant endemic to the state of Meghalaya, North-east India. We employ next generation sequencing technology to identify expressed transcripts along the highly specialized Nepenthes khasiana leaf viz. base, tendril, digestive zone, waxy zone and lid.
