To investigate the gene expression during the transforming peak of seed oil in Camellia oleifera, a cDNA library of the nearly matured seeds of two clones, i.e. XL-1 and XL-4, was constructed. 2 327 clones were randomly selected for sequencing from the 3' -end, and between these sequences and nucleic acid database a homology comparison was made. Its result shows that 88 genes related to lipid storage and 61 storage protein genes (3 kinds) were expressed in a typical space-time model. This result would offer scientific foundation for revealin...
