  • Nicotine is most familiar to us as a principal pharmacologically active component of cigarettes. This alkaloid is synthesized in the root in response to insect damage and then transported to the aerial parts of tobacco plants. Here I overview enzymes and genes involved in nicotine biosynthesis, and regulatory mechanisms of gene expression involving the NIC regulatory loci and jasmonic acid.

  • RNA is a polymeric molecule implicated in various biological processes, such as the coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes. Numerous studies have examined RNA features using whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) approaches. RNA-seq is a powerful technique for characterizing and quantifying the transcriptome and accelerates the development of bioinformatics software. In this review, we introduce routine RNA-seq workflow together with related software, focusing particularly on transcriptome reconstruction and expression quantification.
