Leymus arenarius Transcriptome

Earlier we have obtained a number of lyme grass antimicrobial peptides (AMP) using biochemical methods. AMPs are an important component of plant innate immunity system, so their investigation could help in understanding the plant tolerance mechanisms to adverse environment factors and microorganisms, that will be especially useful for agricultural plants. However, biochemical investigations of AMP are laborious and expensive and do not allow investigating the whole range of available proteins. Thus the goal of the current research was to analyze the transcriptome of lyme grass sprouts that allowed to investigate thoroughly the lyme grass RNAs coding for AMPs
