Transcriptome Analysis of <i>Taxus cuspidata</i> Needles Based on 454 Pyrosequencing
22 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Taxus species are highly valued as renewable resources for the production of Taxol. Despite the commercial and medicinal importance of Taxus, little genomic information is available for yew species, and Taxol biosynthesis still needs to be fully elucidated. In this study, 454 pyrosequencing technology was employed to produce an expressed sequence tag (EST) from the needles of Taxus cuspidata. In all, 81 148...
