Cuscuta suaveolens Transcriptome or Gene expression

Dodders are among the most important parasitic plant families that cause serious yield losses in crop plants. In this report, we sought to unveil the genetic basis of dodder parasitism by profiling the trancriptiomes of Cuscuta pentagona (C. pen) and C. suaveolens (C. sua), two of the most common dodder species using a next-generation RNA sequencing platform.
