              454 sequencing. In this study, we performed de novo
            
            
              functional annotation of the
            
            
              
                Trigonella foenum-graecum
              
            
            
              L. transcriptome without considering any reference
            
            
              species with significant non-redundant set of 7256
            
            
              transcripts. The detailed analyses of the data set has
            
            
              provided several important features of
            
            
              
                Trigonella
              
            
            
              
                foenum-graecum
              
            
            
              L. transcriptome such as GC content,
            
            
              conserved genes across legumes and other plant
            
            
              species, assignment of functional categories by GO
            
            
              terms and identification of SSRs by MISA tool.
            
            
              
                Trigonella foenum-graecum
              
            
            
              L. contains many useful
            
            
              components like; Polysaccharide galactomannan,
            
            
              saponins (diosgenin, yamogenin, gitogenin, tigogenin,
            
            
              neotigogens), mucilage, volatile oils, alkaloids (choline
            
            
              and trigonelline). It is noted that this study of
            
            
              
                Trigonella foenum-graecum L.
              
            
            
              will be useful for
            
            
              further functional genomics studies as it includes
            
            
              useful information of each transcript.
