Transcriptome analysis and crop improvement: (A review)

The identification and characterization of differential gene expression from tissues subjected to stress has gained much attention in plant research. The recognition of elements involved in the response to a particular stress enhances the possibility of promoting crop improvement through direct gene...

description The identification and characterization of differential gene expression from tissues subjected to stress has gained much attention in plant research.
