Cyperus esculentus
TaxID: 1053340
Basic Information
Cyperus esculentus
Chufa (edible Variety), Yellow Nutsedge
Cyperus esculentus (also called chufa, tiger nut, atadwe, yellow nutsedge, earth almond, and in Chishona, pfende) is a species of plant in the sedge family widespread across much of the world. It is found in most of the Eastern Hemisphere, including Southern Europe, Africa and Madagascar, as well as the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. C. esculentus is cultivated for its edible tubers, called earth almonds or tiger nuts (due to the stripes on their tubers and their hard shell), as a snack food and for the preparation of horchata de chufa, a sweet, milk-like beverage. Cyperus esculentus can be found wild, as a weed, or as a crop. It is an invasive species outside its native range, and is readily transported accidentally to become invasive. In many countries, C. esculentus is considered a weed. It is often found in wet soils such as rice paddies and peanut farms as well as well-irrigated lawns and golf courses during warm weather.

PRJNA1181557 SRX26629071 SRP543538 general CK-2 mRNA was isolated by Oligo(dT)-attached magnetic beads. mRNA was then randomly fragmented in fragmentation buffer. First-strand cDNA was synthesized with fragmented mRNA as template and random hexamers as primers, followed by second-strand synthesis with addition of PCR buffer, dNTPs, RNase H and DNA polymerase I. Purification of cDNA was processed with AMPure XP beads. Double-strand cDNA was subjected to end repair. Adenosine was added to the end and ligated to adapters. AMPure XP beads were applied here to select fragments within certain size range. cDNA library was obtained by certain rounds of PCR on cDNA fragments.
