Ocimum basilicum L. Italian transcriptome or Gene Expression

In this study, we performed high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of different tissues of sweet basil-namely peltate glandular trichome (PGT), leaf minus PGT (leaf-PGT), leaf and root to generate a quantitative and comparative profile of the gene expression pattern in various tissues. This comprehensive data revealed the tissue-specific gene expression profile which is extremely significant for understanding the gene targets that are involved in tissue-specific development and functions. Such gene targets can further become potent tools for metabolic engineering.
