Characterization and expression analysis of genes encoding Taxol biosynthetic enzymes in Taxus spp.
Taxol (Paclitaxel), an important anticancer drug, is derived at very low yields from Taxus (yew) species that grow very slowly. In the present study, thirteen genes that encode enzymes involved in Taxol biosynthe...

A comparative analysis of differential N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification between non-transgenic and LBD15 overexpressing Poplar 84 K plants
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays an important role in the gene expression regulation. Previously, we found an ortholog of Arabidopsis LBD15 that showed xylem preferential expression and involved in leaf developm...

Genome-wide analysis of the terpene synthase gene family in physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) and functional identification of six terpene synthases
Plant terpenes constitute a large class of compounds and have numerous biological roles as either primary or secondary metabolites. Terpene synthases (TPSs) play key roles on catalyzing the formation of differ...

De novo sequencing and a comprehensive analysis of purple sweet potato (Impomoea batatas L.) transcriptome
High-throughput RNA sequencing was performed for comprehensively analyzing the transcriptome of the purple sweet potato. A total of 58,800 unigenes were obtained and ranged from 200 nt to 10,380 nt with an ave...
