Towards the understanding of the cocoa transcriptome: Production and analysis of an exhaustive dataset of ESTs of Theobroma cacao L. generated from various tissues and under various conditions

Abstract: Background: Theobroma cacao L., is a tree originated from the tropical rainforest of South America. It is one of the major cash crops for many tropical countries. T. cacao is mainly produced on smallholdings, providing resources for 14 million farmers. Disease resistance and T. cacao quality improvement are two important challenges for all actors of cocoa and chocolate production. T. cacao is seriously affected by pests and fungal diseases, responsible for more than 40% yield losses and quality improvement, nu… Show more

“…These libraries of the International Oil Palm Genome Projects (OPGP) Consortium were sequenced by the Genoscope-CEA (Evry, France) using the 454 Roche/GS-FLX Pyrosequencing technology (1/2 run per library). Each read library was analyzed using the ESTtik tool (Expressed Sequence Tag treatment and investigation kit) (Argout et al 2008) especially modified for the analysis of 454 sequence data. The 454 reads obtained from the eight pulp libraries were assembled using the TGICL (Pertea et al 2003) assembler.…”

“…DNA concentration was determined with a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE). Based on the level of polymorphism and on their distribution across the ten chromosomes in cacao, 54 SNP markers were selected from 1560 candidate SNPs that had been developed using cDNA sequences from a wide range of cacao tissues (Argout et al, 2008). SNP genotyping was performed at the Human Genetics Division Genotyping Core facility, Washington University, St. Louis, using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (Sequenom, Inc., San Diego, CA).…”

“…Even with the introduction of resistant varieties, Cacao production in South America reflects the severity of this pathogen, as the yields in most of the infected regions have not returned to pre-outbreak levels. Several functional genomics studies of the cacao-Moniliophthora perniciosa plant-pathogen interaction have been developed (Gesteira et al 2007;Argout et al 2008, CEPLAC projects granted by FAPESB and CNPq). These programs allowed the identification of ESTs involved in resistance of cacao to WBD.…”

“…A large number of SNPs has been also identified in EST collections (Argout et al 2008, Lima et al 2009). In 2009, Lima and collaborators reported the detection and analysis of 71 SNPs in ESTs from the cacao-M. perniciosa interaction using in silico analysis, but these SNPs have not been validated.…”
