Competing Interests

FY was affiliated with the company KeyGene N. V., but this does not alter the authors' adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials in any way. The company specializes in plant breeding and FY provided the authors with the 454 sequencing data and the results of the analysis on the dedicated hardware system (DeCypher). The sequencing data are available through the supplementary materials without any restrictions. The hardware used is owned by KeyGene, but they have no commercial or financial interests in any of the used hardware and software.
