Lotus petiole trancsriptome
Sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) is a relic aquatic plant with two types of leaves, which have distinct rigidity of petioles. Floating leaf petiole exhibits flexibility and floating tendency despite it being longer than the depth of the water, while the vertical leaf petiole is rigid and erect.To explore the different genes involved in cell wall formation in IFP and IVP, comparative transcriptomic experiment was done.
