Transcriptome-based gene profiling provides novel insights into the characteristics of radish root response to Cr stress with next-generation sequencing
Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is an important worldwide root vegetable crop with high nutrient values and is adversely affected by non-essential heavy metals including chromium (Cr).Little is known about the molecular mechanism underlying Cr stress response in radish.In this study, RNA-Seq technique was employed to identify differentially expressed
