Analysis of roses floral transcriptome
Screening of ethylene responsive genes from rose flowers
From Rosa hybrid cultivar 'Samantha'
We obtained 286,407 high quality ESTs with an average length of 201 bp from rose flowers by 454 massive parallel pyro-sequencing. We then obtained a total of 60,944 unigenes with an average length of 302.1 bp, including 27,220 contigs and 33,724 singletons. BLAST analysis indicates that 33,763 (55.4%) unigenes can be assigned a putative function according to the public databases, but 27,181 unigenes can not.
