Plant gene expression

Whole-transcriptome analysis is very important in understanding how altered expression of genetic variants contributes to complex plant phenotypes. Life technologies offers an extensive product portfolio for gene expression analysis. Plant researchers utilize a variety of approaches to understand gene expression. In some cases, whole-transcriptome profiling is preferred to targeted RNA sequencing, which generally involves panels. In order to study plant functional genomics, researchers also utilize epigenetic tools as well as plant miRNA, small RNA, and RNAi studies to decipher the root cause behind phenotypes of interest. This book covers some of the common and recent features of plant gene expression and its regulation. Though it is difficult to describe every gene regulation, the book provides an overview of various classes of genes that are expressed in plants in general and the mechanism of their regulation.
