TaxID: 39510
Basic Information
Agave americana
American Agave, American Century Plant, century plant
Agave americana, commonly known as the century plant, maguey, or American aloe, is a flowering plant species belonging to the family Asparagaceae. It is native to Mexico and the United States, specifically Texas. This plant is widely cultivated worldwide for its ornamental value and has become naturalized in various regions, including Southern California, the West Indies, South America, the Mediterranean Basin, Africa, the Canary Islands, India, China, Thailand, New Zealand and Australia. Despite being called "American aloe" in common parlance, Agave americana is not closely related to Aloe species.

PRJNA244686 SRX585657 SRP042374 weed RNA-Seq of Agave americana: young leaf at 6 pm "Two-year-old plants of Agave americana ?marginata? were grown under day/night temperatures of 25/15degreeC, day/night relative humidities of 45/75%, photoperiod of 12 h with a photosynthetic photon flux (PPF, 400 to 700 nm) of 540 ?mol m-2 s-1. A total of 15 samples were collected, including eight mature leaf samples collected at 6 am, 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm, 9 pm, 12 am and 3 am, respectively; three young leaf samples collected at 3 am, 12 pm, and 6 pm, respectively; and four non-leaf samples (i.e., meristem, rhizome, root, stem) collected at 9 am. Total RNA was extracted from each of the 15 samples. For each individual RNA sample, a strand-specific sequencing library was constructed as described (Wang et al. 2011; Zhong et al. 2011). mRNA was purified by Oligo(dT)25 Dynabeads and fragmented at 94degreeC for 5 min, with an average RNA fragment length of ~230 nt. Sequencing was performed in a v3 flowcell on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer, using the TruSeq Paired-End Cluster Kit v3 (Illumina PE-401-3001) and the TruSeq SBS HS Kit v3 200 cycles (Illumina FC-401-3001). The sequence reads from all the 15 RNA samples were pooled to form one mixed library. The reads were filtered on the following criteria: (1) a Q20 quality cutoff; and (2) not containing Ns.Reference:Wang L, Si Y, Dedow LK, Shao Y, Liu P, Brutnell TP. 2011.
