The number of ESTs was calculated by amalgamating libraries from the same tissues.

a Other miscellaneous species were Actinidia setosa (1,020 from stem), A. hemsleyana (5,101 from roots), A. polygama (1,348 from petal) and A. indochinensis (74 from petal).

b See Additional file 2 for full details of libraries and tissues.

c Empty cells had no ESTs sequenced.

d Cell refers to cell culture.
