characterization of drought-responsive expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in three date palm cultivars. Phoenix dactylifera strain:Reziz

In the outlined study, the drought-responsive expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of three commercially important date palm cultivars, including Khalas, Reziz and Sheshi, were generated by suppression subtraction hybridization (SSH) to unravel the drought-responsive genes nexus. A total of 1118 drought-responsive ESTs, 345 from Khalas, 391 from Reziz, and 382 from Sheshi were sequenced and subsequently subjected to functional characterization, gene ontology categories, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways elucidation, and dissemination of the enzyme codes
