摘要： Torreya grandis (Taxaceae) is an ancient conifer species endemic to southeast China. Because of its nutrient-rich and delicious seeds, this species has been utilized for centuries by the Chinese. However, transcriptome data and transcriptome-derived microsatellite markers for population genetics studies are still insufficient for understanding of this species' genetic basis. In this study, a transcriptome from T. grandis leaves was generated using Illumina sequencing. A total of 69,920 unigenes were generated after de novo assembly, and annotated by searching against seven protein databases. In addition, 2,065 expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats (EST-SSRs) were detected, with the distribution frequency of 2.75% of total unigenes and average number of 0.03 SSRs per unigene. Among these EST-SSRs, 1,339 primer pairs were successfully designed, and 106 primer pairs were randomly selected for the development of potential molecular markers. Among them, 11 EST-SSR markers revealed a moderate level of genetic diversity, and were used to investigate the population structure of T. grandis. Two different genetic groups within this species were revealed using these EST-SSR markers, indicating that these markers developed in this study can be effectively applied to the population genetic analysis of T. grandis.
