Short Description of Library:
The cDNA library was constructed from mRNA isolated from differentiating somatic embryos cultured on MSM6AC. The library was prepared using the Stratagene pBluescript II SK (+) library construction kit. Complementary DNA was synthesized from mRNA using a primer consisting of a poly(dT) sequence with an Xho I restriction site. Eco RI adaptors were ligated to the blunt-ended cDNA fragments followed by Xho I digestion. The cDNA fragments were directionally cloned into the Eco RI-Xho I restriction site of the pBluescript vector. The ligated cDNA fragments were transformed into E. coli ElectroMax DH10B host cells. Tissue culture and library construction were performed by Françoise Thibaud-Nissen and Anu Khana (Lila Vodkin lab, University of Illinois).

Transformation efficiency: 1.5 x 106
Percent white colonies: 64%
Average insert size of white colonies: 910 bp

Genotype/Cultivar:
Jack

Organ/Tissue:
differentiating somatic embryos cultured on MSM6AC

Vector Information:
The cDNA library was prepared using the pBluescript II SK (+) vector (Stratagene) to generate a plasmid library. The vector provides ampicillin resistance and allows blue-white color selection for recombinant phagemids. The cloned cDNA fragment can be amplified by the polymerase chain reaction using one of the following vector primer pair combinations: T3 and T7 or M13 universal and M13 reverse./td>
