Transcriptomic profiling of Melilotus albus near-isogenic lines contrasting for coumarin content

Abstract Coumarin and its derivatives are widely used as fragrances in industrial products and have medical value. The goal of the present study was to discover genes and pathways related to coumarin biosynthesis in Melilotus albus using transcriptome analysis. The genes of five M. albus near-isogen...
