Analysis of expressed sequence tags from biodiesel plant Jatropha curcas embryos at different developmental stages
Plant Science 181 (2011) 696– 700,-0001,():
Jatropha curcas is considered a potential biodiesel feedstock plant whose seeds contain up to 40% oil. However, little is currently known about the seed biology of Jatropha. Therefore, it would be valuable to understand the mechanisms of development and lipid metabolism in Jatropha seeds. In the present study, three cDNA libraries were constructed with mRNA from Jatropha embryos at different stages of seed development. A total of 9844 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were produced from these libraries, from which 1070 contigs and 3595 singletons were obtained. One hundred and seven unigenes were found to be differentially expressed in the three cDNA libraries of Jatropha embryos, indicating that these genes may play key roles in seed development. We have identified 59 and 61 unigenes that might be involved in the development and lipid metabolism in Jatropha seeds, respectively. Some of these genes may also play important roles in embryogenesis, morphogenesis, defense response and adaptive mechanisms in plants.
