Transcriptome profiling of genes involving in carotenoid biosynthesis and accumulation between leaf and root of carrot (Daucus carota L.)

Abstract excerpt

Carrot provides abundant carotenoid for human diet and is one of the most widely cultivated root vegetables in the world. However, the absence of the tissue-specific transcriptome of carrots hampers the investigation of the association of secondary metabolic mechanism with the different tissue types. In this study, we obtained 46,119,008/48,414,508 raw reads and 45,394,846/47,887,648 clean reads from the carrot...
