Simmondsia chinensis Genome sequencing and assembly

The present study aims at investigating a number of sex-specific markers previously used in jojoba towards further usage in breeding programs of jojoba growing in Saudi Arabia. Two experiments were performed. The first was conducted in order to detect presence of some sex-specific markers or genes known in the literature. This experiment involved one male and one female DNA samples isolated from leaves of morphologically-distinguished -based on flower shape- male and female plants growing at King Abdulaziz Farm station at Hada El-Sham near Jeddah. DNAs were isolated following standard procedures and nucleic acid samples were shipped to BGI, China for deep sequencing. The second experiment was conducted in order to detect expression of some sex-specific markers or genes known in the literature.
