| Research Abstract |
I conducted a transcriptome analysis of the scent-emitting flowers of 10 Asimitellaria species, which comprises the vast majority of the section, using SuperSAGE. I analyzed the obtained SuperSAGE tags using perl-baseed bioinformatics and succeeded the genome-wide comprehensive transcriptome comparisons among closely related plant species. Further analyses based on gene expression and sequence data revealed some candidate genes dominating pollination systems of Asimitellaria, which were thus likely to be the "speciation genes".
