Project description:Sampada and Sujata are two contrasting genotypes of Papaver somniferum that are contrasting in terms of their latex and alkaloid profiles. The major objective of the present study was to use a small-scale (750 target genes) microarray of P. somniferum for identification of genes that are differentially expressed in the capsule walls of the two contrasting genotypes, Sampada and Sujata. Nidarshana Chaturvedi and Mridula Singh made equal contribution as first authors to this data.
