De novo transcriptome analysis and glucosinolate profiling in watercress (Nasturtium officinale R. Br.)

Abstract

This study has enhanced our understanding of functional genomics of N. officinale, including the glucosinolate biosynthetic pathways of this plant. Ultimately, our data will be helpful for further research on watercress bio-engineering and better strategies for exploiting its anti-carcinogenic properties.
