To accelerate the pummelo breeding program, it is essential to obtain extensive genetic information and develop relative molecular markers. Here, we obtained a 12-Gb transcriptome dataset of pummelo through a mixture of RNA from seven tissues using Illumina pair-end sequencing, assembled into 57,212 unigenes with an average length of 1010 bp. The annotation and classification results showed that a total of 39,584 unigenes had similar hits to the known proteins of four public databases, and 31,501 were classified into 55 Gene Ontology (GO) functional sub-categories. The search for putative molecular markers among 57,212 unigenes identified 10,276 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 64,720 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). High-quality primers of 1174 SSR loci were designed, of which 88.16% were localized to nine chromosomes of sweet orange. Of 100 SSR primers that were randomly selected for testing, 87 successfully amplified clear banding patterns. Of these primers, 29 with a mean PIC (polymorphic information content) value of 0.52 were effectively applied for phylogenetic analysis. Of the 20 SNP primers, 14 primers, including 54 potential SNPs, yielded target amplifications, and 46 loci were verified via Sanger sequencing. This new dataset will be a valuable resource for molecular biology studies of pummelo and provides reliable information regarding SNP and SSR marker development, thus expediting the breeding program of pummelo.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Jayaprakasha, Gk" uniqKey="Jayaprakasha G">GK

To accelerate the pummelo breeding program, it is essential to obtain extensive genetic information and develop relative molecular markers. Here, we obtained a 12-Gb transcriptome dataset of pummelo through a mixture of RNA from seven tissues using Illumina pair-end sequencing, assembled into 57,212 unigenes with an average length of 1010 bp. The annotation and classification results showed that a total of 39,584 unigenes had similar hits to the known proteins of four public databases, and 31,501 were classified into 55 Gene Ontology (GO) functional sub-categories. The search for putative molecular markers among 57,212 unigenes identified 10,276 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 64,720 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). High-quality primers of 1174 SSR loci were designed, of which 88.16% were localized to nine chromosomes of sweet orange. Of 100 SSR primers that were randomly selected for testing, 87 successfully amplified clear banding patterns. Of these primers, 29 with a mean PIC (polymorphic information content) value of 0.52 were effectively applied for phylogenetic analysis. Of the 20 SNP primers, 14 primers, including 54 potential SNPs, yielded target amplifications, and 46 loci were verified via Sanger sequencing. This new dataset will be a valuable resource for molecular biology studies of pummelo and provides reliable information regarding SNP and SSR marker development, thus expediting the breeding program of pummelo.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>This research was financially supported by the Ministry of Science & Technology of China (no. 2011CB100600), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (nos. 31301760, 31460507, 31330066, 31221062), the Ministry of Education Innovation Team (IRT13065), and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (2013QC037).

Osbeck), also known as the female parent of sweet orange, is an important economical cultivated species and a valuable germplasm for citrus breeding. Pummelo is commercially cultivated in many countries, such as China, Thailand, Japan, Mexico and Israel, because pummelo fruits and juice have abundant antioxidant compounds, including vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids and limonoids, which can reduce the risk of oxidative-related diseases [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>].</p><p>Although pummelo plays an important role in agricultural production and has beneficial health effects, little genomic and transcriptomic information is publicly available. As of January 2015, only 327 nucleotide and 58 EST sequences of pummelo were deposited in the GenBank database. Pummelo is an ancient species of the <italic>Citrus</italic> genus [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]; additionally, many accessions possess the mechanism of self-incompatibility [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. Thus, it is difficult to sequence and assemble a whole genomic with a wide range of variability and high degree of heterozygosity. An alternative approach, namely transcriptome sequencing, which is used to generate massive expressed sequence tags (ESTs), was considered.</p><p>The transcriptome dataset is a valuable resource not only for expression profile construction but also for novel gene discovery [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>] as well as for a large number of simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. SSR and SNP molecular markers are very useful for variety identification, population structure analysis, and linkage map development and will contribute to the acceleration of the breeding program. In a previous study, 343 AFLPs and 335 SSRs were used to assess the genetic diversity of 110 pummelo germplasms [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]; thereafter, 178 pummelo genotypes were identified using 25 SNPs [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. However, most of the existing markers were developed from other species in <italic>Citrus</italic>, mainly from <italic>C.sinensis</italic>, and few markers have been developed from pummelo.</p><p>Given that the number of the markers derived from pummelo is limited, Biswas et al. [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>] first reported a set of pummelo EST sequences and developed corresponding markers through the traditional method of constructing a cDNA library, selecting clones and sequencing by the Sanger method. However, the throughput of the dataset was not sufficient to satisfy the needs of molecular biology and breeding studies. Furthermore, the traditional method was costly, time-consuming and cumbersome. Fortunately, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, including the Roche (454) GS FLX, Illumina genome analyzer and Applied Biosystems SOLiD sequencer, are revolutionizing our ability to obtain massive transcriptome data [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. Among these high-throughput sequencing technologies, the Illumina platform is the most widely used and is suitable for the discovery of variants and genes because it can produce large volumes of high-quality reads [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. Moreover, with the support of paired-end sequencing and advanced assemblies, Illumina can be successfully applied to non-model organisms rather than only for model organisms [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>].</p><p>‘Shatian’ pummelo is a representative pummelo cultivar with the characteristic of self-incompatibility [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. In this study, we characterized the transcriptome information of ‘Shatian’ pummelo using the Illumina platform and developed SSR and SNP markers of pummelo. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a pummelo transcriptome used to construct a gene expression dataset with 12 G data. Such data provide an important resource for novel gene discovery and marker development and lay a solid foundation for future breeding efforts and molecular biology research on pummelo. In addition, we designed corresponding SSR and SNP primer pairs to test the accuracy of the <italic>in silico</italic> loci and obtained the diversity analysis of 44 citrus and relative accessions through SSR markers.</p></sec><sec sec-type="results" id="sec002"><title>Results</title><sec id="sec003"><title>Illumina Sequencing and <italic>de novo</italic> ‘Shatian’ pummelo transcriptome assembly</title><p>To provide a comprehensive transcriptome platform for pummelo, we constructed a cDNA library of ‘Shatian’ pummelo through a mixture of RNA from seven sampled tissues (<xref rid="pone.0120615.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>), i.e., petal, anther, filament, style, ovary, pedicel and leaf, and this library was named ‘Cg’ in this work and was sequenced using Illumina paired-end technology.

Furthermore, of the 20 SNP primers, 14 successfully amplified target fragments, and more than 85% containing low- and high-quality loci were confirmed via Sanger sequencing, which was slightly higher than the 76% accuracy reported by Yu et al. [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref060" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>]. In total, the results indicated that NGS technologies can be used to develop abundant SNP or SSR markers with high efficiency and accuracy.</p></sec><sec id="sec013"><title>SSR marker genetic diversity analysis</title><p>SSR markers were subjected to genetic diversity analysis, and markers with at least 3 alleles were identified, which was better than the previous result by Chai et al. [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref052" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. The PIC value in our study (0.52) was greater than 0.5, suggesting that the majority of SSR markers were at a high polymorphism level and were suitable for genetic diversity study. However, the PIC was lower than in Chai’s report (0.87) [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref052" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. The possible reason for this result is that fewer markers were used, and the primers were selected randomly rather than intentionally selected for high polymorphism.</p><p>According to the hypothesis of Barrett and Rhodes [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref061" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>], there are only three major ancestral citrus species, citron (<italic>C.medica</italic> L.), mandarin (<italic>C.reticulata</italic> Blanco) and pummelo (<italic>C.grandis</italic> Osb.). Other cultivated species were derived from hybridization between these major ancestral species and closely related genera [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref062" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>]. Our findings support this hypothesis. From the dendrogram, we found that pummelo, mandarin, and citron were clearly distinguished from each other and were allied with three independent clusters. All of the pummelos were grouped together and formed a single cluster, excluding ‘huyou’ (<italic>C.paradisi</italic> Macf.). In our results, ‘huyou’ exhibited a close relationship with sweet orange and sour orange, confirming the hypothesis that ‘huyou’ is a hybrid between pummelo and sweet orange. Sweet orange, sour orange and mandarin all belong to the same cluster; therefore, our findings indicate that, as many researchers have assumed [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>], mandarin has a significant genome contribution to these two types of orange. Lime, lemon, and limonia had close relationships with citron, indicating that citron might be a parent species [<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref063" ref-type="bibr">63</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0120615.ref065" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>].

Taken together, these SSR markers that were developed based on the transcriptome dataset could elucidate a relatively unambiguous genetic relationship among Citrus and its relatives.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions" id="sec014"><title>Conclusion</title><p>This work is the first transcriptome study on the non-model plant <italic>C.grandis</italic> using the NGS technology, which provides a comprehensive available transcriptome dataset expressed in the floral organs and young leaves. In total, 57,212 unigenes were assembled, of which 39,584 could be annotated to known proteins of the public databases. Based on the dataset, we identified the top three most abundant transcripts and some S-like RNase genes that were related to the self-incompatibility mechanism. Moreover, a large number of SNPs and SSRs were identified, and high-quality primers of 1174 SSR loci were designed, 88.16% of which were localized to the chromosomes of sweet orange. Ultimately, a relatively unambiguous genetic relationship among citrus and its relatives was elucidated via 29 SSR markers that were developed from the transcriptome dataset. The enrichment results not only indicate that the assembled data were reliable and accurate and that massive short reads could be effectively assembled without reference sequences but also demonstrate that the transcriptome dataset could provide abundant genetic resources for novel gene identification and marker development.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec015"><title>Methods</title><sec id="sec016"><title>Plant material and RNA and DNA extraction</title><p>‘Shatian’ pummelo was cultivated in the Guangxi Citrus Research Institute in Guilin City, Guangxi, China.

Initially, RNA was treated with DNase I. Poly (A) mRNA was isolated from the treated RNA using magnetic oligo (dT) beads, and enriched mRNA was then broken into short fragments by mixing with the fragmentation buffer. Subsequently, first-strand and second-strand cDNA was successively synthesized using these fragments as templates. The double-stranded cDNA was resolved for end-repair, and a single adenine was added to the 3’ end. To distinguish between different samples, sequencing adapters were ligated to the short fragments, and suitable fragments of approximately 200 bp were selected for PCR amplification. An Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and an ABI StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System were used to validate the quantification and qualification of the sample library. Finally, the cDNA library was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Based on the outcome of the validation, the contigs with little mapping were removed, and the high-quality contigs were further assembled into unigenes. Finally, the obtained unigenes were divided into two classes, namely clusters and singletons, according to the gene family clustering. The clusters were named with ‘CL’ as the prefix, followed by an ID number, whereas singletons were prefixed with ‘unigene’.
