Abstract | Large-scale single-pass sequencing of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) can give a global picture of the genes involved in the development and function of organs and tissues. Almond (Prunus dulcis Mill. syn. Amygdalus communis L. var. dulcis) is a self-incompatible fruit tree of the family Rosaceae. As an attempt to examine the transcripts expressed during pistil development, we randomly selected and partially sequenced over 1,000 clones from a cDNA library of almond pistils. Analysis of the ESTs using the NCBI non-redundant protein database revealed that 456 (~45.4%) have significant similarity to protein coding sequences in the database. Among the 549 cDNAs with no similarity to known protein sequences, 56 clones have significant similarity to nucleotide sequences registered in the databases. Sequences were assembled using StackPACK and the estimated number of genes identified was 716: 121 contigs and 595 singletons. Only eight of the unique cDNA clones correspond to previously isolated gene sequences of P. dulcis. After functional classification of almond ESTs, "stress resistance and defense" and "protein synthesis and processing" ESTs were found to be the most numerous. Our EST analysis provides a first picture of the numerous almond genes potentially involved in pistil development. It also contributes to our knowledge about gene expression patterns in pistils while providing an extensive reservoir for gene cloning and genetic mapping in almond and other related fruit trees. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
