De novo transcriptome analysis unravels tissue-specific expression of candidate genes involved in major secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways of Plumbago zeylanica: implication for pharmacological potential.

ABSTRACT:

Key message

The present study provides comparative transcriptome analysis, besides identifying functional secondary metabolite genes of Plumbago zeylanica with pharmacological potential for future functional genomics, and metabolomic engineering of secondary metabolites from this plant towards diversified biomedical applications.

Abstract

Plumbago zeylanica is a widely used medicinal plant of the traditional Indian system of medicine with wide pharmacological potential to treat several disorders. The present study aimed to carry out comparative transcriptome analysis in leaf and root tissue of P. zeylanica using Illumina paired end sequencing to identify tissue-specific functional genes involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, contributing
