Brassica species are playing an even more important role in global agriculture and horticulture. To understand the regulation and evolution of Brassica species, the Multinational Brassica Genome Project (MBGP) was initiated and various techniques have been developed to characterize the behaviour of the underlying genes, genomic regulatory networks and associated metabolism. By using cDNA librar...

Polyploidization has played an important role in plant evolution and speciation, and newly formed allopolyploids have experienced rapid transcriptomic changes. Here, we compared the transcriptomic differences between a synthetic Brassica allohexaploid and its parents using a high-throughput RNA-Seq method. A total of 35,644,409 sequence reads were generated, and 32,642 genes were aligned from t...
