Transcriptome profiling of alkaloid biosynthesis induced opium poppy

To identify the molecular basis of genome-wide transcriptome analysis in induced opium poppy capsule tissues NimbleGen microarray (12X135 K element) analysis was performed. Fungal elicitor methyl jasmonate (MeJa) treatment was applied on capsules of opium poppy during 0, 3, and 12 h. Four sample sets were prepared for array analyses: i) control ii) 0 hour after treatment iii) 3 hour after treatment iv) 12 h after treatment
