Large-scale single-pass sequencing of cDNAs from different plants
has provided an extensive reservoir for the cloning of genes, the
evaluation of tissue-specific gene expression, markers for map-based
cloning, and the annotation of genomic sequences. Although as of
January 2000 GenBank contained over 220,000 entries of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from plants, most publicly available plant ESTs
are derived from vegetative tissues and relatively few ESTs are
specifically derived from developing seeds. However, important morphogenetic processes are exclusively associated with seed and embryo
development and the metabolism of seeds is tailored toward the
accumulation of economically valuable storage compounds such as oil.
Here we describe a new set of ESTs from Arabidopsis, which has been
derived from 5- to 13-d-old immature seeds. Close to 28,000 cDNAs have
been screened by DNA/DNA hybridization and approximately 10,500 new
Arabidopsis ESTs have been generated and analyzed using different
bioinformatics tools. Approximately 40% of the ESTs currently have no
match in dbEST, suggesting many represent mRNAs derived from genes that
are specifically expressed in seeds. Although these data can be mined
with many different biological questions in mind, this study emphasizes
the import of photosynthate into developing embryos, its conversion
into seed oil, and the regulation of this pathway.
