Abstract Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standley has unique biological characteristics with high nutritional and medicinal
values. It is an important pharmaceutical plant with various biologically active ingredients. Genetic improvement and
deeper genomic studies require a rich resource of molecular markers. The application of next-generation sequencing
technology, especially for transcriptome profiling, has greatly facilitated high throughput single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) discovery. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptome of
three major cultivars of L. siceraria and obtained 64.88 GB of clean data. The assembled high-quality reads were
clustered into 89,347 unigenes, which were annotated by… More >
