Project description:In this study, we have performed Illumina based RNA sequencing to characterize the transcriptome and expression profiles of genes expressed in 4 tissues of A. carmichaelii. RNA sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly fo A. carmichaelii resulted in a total of 128,183 unigenes with 56,928 unigenes being annotated using NCBI-nr database. Transcriptome profile and analysis for 4 tissues of A. carmichaelii showed that unigenes annotated as possible rate-determining steps of aconitine-type biosynthetic pathway were highly expressed in the root.
