Transcriptome of tobacco leaf and glandular trichome (PRJCA044539)
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) accumulates large amount of diterpenoid CBT-diols in glandular trichomes distributing on the surface of the plant. We disrupted CBT-diols biosynthesis by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of the CBTS gene family (cbts mutant). This resulted in the deficiency of CBT-diols accumulation throughout the tobacco plant. We performed transcriptomic analysis of glandular trichomes and leaves collected from WT plants and cbts mutants.
