Table 2

Characterization of the cDNA libraries obtained from Passiflora reproductive tissues at different developmental stages.

	P. edulis	P. suberosa
Number of valid ESTs	5,163	5,109
Clusters	597	588
Singletons	2,731	2,743
Cluster composition^a	3	2
Mean insert size (bp)	1,386	1,423
Mean ORF size (bp)	482	463
Novelty (%)^b	86.45	89.65

^a: Mean number of ESTs in each cluster.
^b: Mean proportion of a novel singleton or cluster formed for each new sequence introduced in the database (considering all libraries).
