A comprehensive set of transcript sequences of the heavy metal hyperaccumulator Noccaea caerulescens

“…One reason to investigate the remarkable metal adaptation properties of N. caerulescens is that these extremophile plants are interesting target species to develop for metal phytoextraction purposes, in which plants are used to remediate soils contaminated with toxic metals (Peer et al, 2006; Anjum, 2012). Another reason is that the rare extremophile nature of metal hyperaccumulators, to have adapted to otherwise hostile environments, makes them interesting models for plant evolutionary genomics studies (Hanikenne and Nouet, 2011).…”
