Abstract:

A cDNA library was constructed with dormant Davidia involucrata seeds by using SMART cDNA Library Construction Kit. The library had a titer of 1.5×106 pfu·mL-1, with recombinant rate of 98%. The inserted cDNA fragments ranged mainly from 0.5 to 1.0 kb. Total 148 ESTs were obtained from randomly sequencing, and 127 uniESTs were obtained by contiganalsis. By searching on line with BlastN and BlastX, 75 uniESTs were determined to be the tags of genes with putative function and high similarity, 32 uniESTs had low similarity and 13 uniEST had no significant similarity to any protein or DNA sequence in the databases. The present ESTs provide a valuable resource for further research on similarity protein function and molecule mechanism of Davidia involucrata seeds.

Key words: Davidia involucrata, seed, dormancy, cDNA library, ESTs
