Analysis of expressed sequence tags from the<i>Huperzia serrata</i>leaf for gene discovery in the areas of secondary metabolite biosynthesis and development regulation
3 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Huperzia serrata produces various types of lycopodium alkaloids, especially the huperzine A (HupA) that is a promising drug candidate for Alzheimer's disease. Despite the medicinal importance of H. serrata, little genomic or transcriptomic data are available from the public databases. A cDNA library was thus generated from RNA isolated from the leaves of H. serrata. A total of 4012 clones were randomly selected...
