So far the carrageenan biosynthesis pathway is not fully understood and few information is about the So-lieriaceae genome and transcriptome sequence. Here, we performed the de novo transcriptome sequencing, assembly, functional annotation and comparative analysis of these three commercial-valuable species using an Illumina short-sequencing platform Hiseq 2000 and bioinformatic software. Furthermore, we compared the different expression of some unigenes involved in some pathways relevant to carrageenan biosynthe-sis. We finally found 861 different expressed KEGG orthologs which contained a glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway （21 orthologs）, carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms （16 orthologs）, galactose metabolism （5 orthologs）, and fructose and mannose metabolism （9 orthologs） which are parts of the carbohydrate me-tabolism. We also found 8 different expressed KEGG orthologs for sulfur metabolism which might be impor-tantly related to biosynthesis of different types of carrageenans. The results presented in this study provided valuable resources for functional genomics annotation and investigation of mechanisms underlying the biosynthesis of carrageenan in Family Solieriaceae.展开更多
我们在整理中国沿岸产的红翎菜科的标本时,看到了一些在外形上与江蓠属Gracilaria中的红江蓠Gracilaria rubra C.F.Chang et B.M.Xia很相似的标本,但经过对其内部构造和囊果特征的详细研究后,确定它是属于红翎菜科Solieriaceae中厚线藻...我们在整理中国沿岸产的红翎菜科的标本时,看到了一些在外形上与江蓠属Gracilaria中的红江蓠Gracilaria rubra C.F.Chang et B.M.Xia很相似的标本,但经过对其内部构造和囊果特征的详细研究后,确定它是属于红翎菜科Solieriaceae中厚线藻属Sarconema的种类。展开更多
