Project description:The leaf transcriptome of the nickel hyperaccumulator Psychotria gabriellae (Rubiaceae) endemic from New Caledonia was compared to the closely related non-accumulator Psychotria semperflorens, living in sympatry with P. gabriellae in rain forest on serpentine soil, to identity differentially expressed genes potentially involved in Ni hyperaccumulation.
Project description:The leaf transcriptome of the nickel hyperaccumulator species Psychotria grandis and Psychotria costivenia (Rubiaceae) from Cuba were compared to the closely related non-accumulator Psychotria revoluta, living on Gallery forest on serpentine soil, to identity differentially expressed genes potentially involved in Ni hyperaccumulation.
