Transcriptome analysis of Opium poppy using Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform [different tissues]

Purpose: Opium poppy is one of the most important medical plants and remains the only commercial resource of morphinan-based painkillers. However, little is known about its regulation mechanism in benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) biosynthesis. Herein, the Transcriptome dataset of Opium poppy was constructed to identify the gene involved in its regulation mechanism in BIAs biosynthesis. Methods: Using Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform, 33 samples of Illumina transcriptome data from different tissues, growth phases and cultivars were constructed. Results: The high-quality transcripts were subsequent quantified with the short reads, and the expression of each unigenes among different samples was calculated by RPKM (the reads per kilobase per million mapped reads). Conclusions: These data provide a foundation of opium poppy transcriptome which may contribute to understand the regulation of BIAs biosynthesis. This series includes samples from different tissues (BioProject accession No. PRJNA510228 and SRA study accession No.SRP173546)
