Chloris virgata Swartz (C. virgata) is an one-year-old herbaceous plant of Gramineae. It has high adaptability and can survive in highly saline soils. We randomly selected 3168 clones from a C. virgata cDNA library from NaHCO₃-stressed. By finding Restriction Enzyme cutting site to remove vectors of the sequences and delete the sequences without Restriction Enzyme cutting site, we obtained 3043 clones finally. Gene Ontology (GO) Slim annotations were obtained by BLAST2GO and it was found that 8 genes of them were annotated with GO terms “response to stress” indicating that these genes were likely to function in tolerance mechanism of C. virgata, Setaria italica was the highest homology to sequences of C. virgata. Clusters of Orthologous Group(COG) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that, most of these genes  involved in “cellular process”, “General function prediction only” and “ Ribosome”.
