摘要: Sesame (Sesamue indicum L.) is one of the most important oilseed crops with high oil yield. Here, we described a simpleand efficient method for constructing a normalized cDNA library from a high oil content cultivar of sesame Zhongzhi 14,during its oil accumulation stages. It combined switching mechanism at 5´-end of RNA transcript (SMART) technique andduplex-specific nuclease (DSN) normalization methods. Double-stranded cDNAs were synthesized from mRNAs, processedby normalization and Sfi I restriction endonuclease, and finally the cDNAs were ligated to pDNR-LIB vector. The ligationmixture was transformed into Escherichia coli DH10B by electroporation. The capacity of the library was 1.0×106 clonesin this library. Gel electrophoresis results indicated the fragments ranged from 700 to 2 000 bp, with the average size of1 800 bp. Random picking clones showed that the recombination rate was 100%. The results showed that the cDNA libraryconstructed successfully was a full-length library with high quality, and could be used to screen the genes related todevelopment of oil synthesis.
