Ocimum basilicum L. Italian transcriptome or Gene Expression

In this study, we performed high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of different tissues of sweet basil-namely peltate glandular trichome (PGT), leaf minus PGT (leaf-PGT), leaf and root to generate a quantitative and comparative profile of the gene expression pattern in various tissues. This comprehensive data revealed the tissue-specific gene expression profile which is extremely significant for understanding the gene targets that are involved in tissue-specific development and functions. Such gene targets can further become potent tools for metabolic engineering.

本研究针对甜罗勒的不同组织开展高通量RNA测序（RNA-Seq），所涉组织包括盾状腺毛（peltate glandular trichome，PGT）、去除盾状腺毛的叶片（leaf minus PGT，缩写为leaf-PGT）、完整叶片与根部，旨在构建不同组织中基因表达模式的定量比较图谱。本综合性测序数据集揭示了组织特异性基因表达谱，这对解析参与组织特异性发育与功能调控的基因靶点具有关键价值。此类基因靶点后续可成为代谢工程研究的有效工具。
