Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.), popularly known as "China grass", is one of the oldest crops in China and the second most important fiber crop in terms of area sown. Ramie fiber, extracted from the plant bast, is important in the textile industry. However, the molecular mechanism of ramie fiber development remains unknown. RESULTS: A whole sequencing run was performed on the 454 GS FLX + platform using...
