HighlightsDe novo assembly of arecanut transcriptome unfolds the genes involved in carotenoids and alkaloids biosynthetic pathways.High level of transcripts for carotenoid biosynthetic pathway genes implies arecanut as a potential source of carotenoids.First report on arecanut transcriptome reveals microsatellites in areca transcriptome sequence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
