Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews) is a well-known horticultural and medicinal plant. The flower buds must go through a period of endo-dormancy before bud sprouting in winter, but very little information concerned with dormancy release is available. We obtained 625,342 sequencing reads with massive parallel pyrosequencing on the Roche 454 GS FLX platform (mean length: 358.1bp). De novo assemblies yielded 23,652 contigs and singletons. 15,284 contigs longer than 300bp were further annotated, among them 12,345 ESTs showed significant similarity with sequences present in public databases (with an E-value <1e-10). 484 putative transcription factors were obtained. In addition, 2253 potential Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) loci were identified in the 454-ESTs. Total 149 pairs of primers were designed, and 121 pairs were amplified successfully in initial screening. In addition, 73 pairs of primers displayed polymorphism. This sequence collection provides a significant resource for gene discovery during endo-dormancy of tree peony.

Tree peony seeds, traditionally used for edible oil production, are rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA). However, little attention is paid to their development as a healthcare food due to their bitter and astringent taste. The aim of this study was to optimize the debittering process of peony seeds on the basis of maintaining nutritional value and to identify the compounds that cause the taste of bitterness.

Paeonia suffruticosa is a plant of Paeonia in Paeoniaceae. It is an important woody ornamental flower in the world. High temperature in summer hinders the growth of tree peony and reduces its ornamental quality, which restricts the cultivation and application of tree peony in Jiangnan area of China.
