Indigofera tinctoria Transcriptome or Gene expression

Blue indigo dye is one of the oldest natural dye produced from Indigofera tinctoria endemic in India. Due to awareness of personal and environmental toxicity of synthetic blue dye, demand of natural dye is increasing. So far, the bio synthetic pathway of indigo has not been fully elucidated due lack of molecular analysis of indigo plant. The present investigation reports the expressed transcripts in leaf tissue which is a source of indigo biosynthesis and storage.
