Oncidium Gower Ramsey. Oncidium hybrid cultivar

Oncidium cDNA libraries for six different organs, including leaves, pseudobulbs, young inflorescences, inflorescences, flower buds and mature flowers were generated. 454-pyrosequencing technology was utilized to perform high-throughput deep sequencing of the Oncidium transcriptome, yielding more than 0.9 million reads with an average length of 328 bp, for a total of 301 million bases. De novo assembly of the sequences yielded 50,908 contig sequences with an average length of 493 bp from 796,463 reads and 120,219 singletons. The assembled sequences were annotated using BLAST, and a total of 12,757 and 13,931 UniGene transcripts from the Arabidopsis and rice genomes were matched by TBLASTX, respectively.
