Corchorus olitorius cultivar:Kuanyechangguo Raw sequence reads. Corchorus olitorius cultivar:Kuanyechangguo

There are three major objectives for the present study: (1) to characterize the transcriptome of jute and generate a broad survey of genes associated with vegetative growth and development; (2) to develop a large-scale data set of SNPs from transcriptomic sequences; (3) to identify the expression profiles of bast-related genes involved in cellulose biosynthesis. The discovered genes and newly developed SNPs will not only facilitate genomic studies, but also enrich molecular markers available for jute. The identified bast-related genes will provide a valuable knowledge to study cellulose biosynthesis.
