Comparative analysis of the root and leaf transcriptomes in Chelidonium majus L.

To understand the biosynthesis of C. majus BIAs, we performed de novo transcriptome sequencing of leaf and root tissues of C. majus using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. Overall design: Different tissues, including roots and leaves from Chelidonium majus were used for transcriptome sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform to generate paired-end (2×150 base) reads.
