Comparative transcriptomics provides a strategy for phylogenetic analysis and SSR marker development in Chaenomeles
Abstract The genus Chaenomeles has long been considered an important ornamental, herbal and cash crop and is widely cultivated in East Asia. Traditional studies of Chaenomeles mainly focus on evolutionary relationships at the phenotypic level. In this study, we conducted RNA-seq on 10 Chaenomeles ge...

Traditional studies of Chaenomeles mainly focus on evolutionary relationships at the phenotypic level.

After de novo assemblies, we generated from 40,084 to 49,571 unigenes for each germplasm.
