Transcriptome-wide identification of genes involved in Ascorbate-Glutathione cycle (Halliwell-Asada pathway) and related pathway for elucidating its role in antioxidative potential in finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.)).

ABSTRACT: Finger millet is being recognized as a potential future crop due to their nutrient contents and antioxidative properties, which are much higher compared to the other minor millets for providing health benefits. The synthesis of these nutritional components is governed by the expression of several gene(s). Therefore, it is necessary to characterize these genes for understanding the molecular mechanisms behind de novo synthesis of nutrient components. Apart from this, these important compounds could also serve as candidate genes for imparting stress tolerance in other crop plants also. In the present study, effort has been made to identify genes involved in Ascorbate-Glutathione cycle (Halliwell-Asada Pathway) and related pathway genes for elucidating its role in antioxidative potential mech
