title: De novo transcriptome assembly reveals characteristics of flower sex determination of Excoecaria agallocha

description: <em><strong>Key message</strong></em> MADS-box genes family may play important roles in the flower sex determination in <em>Excoecaria agallocha</em>. A total of 73 MADS-box genes were identified in <em>E. agallocha</em>. <em>De novo</em> transcriptome assembly analysis suggested that <em>AP1/FUL</em>, <em>AP3/PI</em>, <em>AGL104</em> and <em>SOC1</em> plays potential roles in <em>E. agallocha</em> flower sex determination. <br> Figure S1. The length distribution of transcripts (a) and unigenes (b). The inserts show the frequency distribution of the transcript length (a) and of the unigene length (b). Figure S2. Pearson correlation between samples. Figure S3. The distribution of SSRs in <em>E. agallocha</em>. The insert shown the distribution of the total number of SSRs in mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexa-nucleotide repeats. Figure S4. The overview of <em>E. agallocha</em> transcriptome assembly and the characteristics of the homology search of unigenes. (a) e-value distributions of the best BLAST hits for each unigene against the NR database. (b) similarity distribution of the best BLAST hits for each unigene against the NR database. (c) venn diagram showing the BLAST searches of the <em>E. agallocha</em> transcriptome against the five public databases. (d) species distribution of the best BLAST hit for each unigene against the NR database. Figure S5. Gene ontology distributions for the transcriptome of four samples in <em>E.</em> <em>agallocha</em>. Main functional categories of the transcriptome related to plant physiology of the biological process, cellular component, and molecular function. The abscissas show the number of unigenes, and one unigene may be associated with different GO terms. Figure S6. The KEGG pathway for the transcriptome of four samples in <em>E.</em> <em>agallocha</em>. The unigenes were divided into five clusters according to KEGG metabolism pathways, A: Cellular processes, B: Environmental information processing, C: Genetic information processing, D: Metabolism, E: Organismal systems.
