Transcriptome analysis and identification of genes related to terpenoid biosynthesis in Cinnamomum camphora

Cinnamomum camphora has been cultivated as an economically important tree for its medicinal and aromatic properties. Selective breeding has produced Cinnamomum plants for special uses, including spice strains with characteristic flavors and aromas and high-potency medicinal cultivars. The molecular biology underlying terpenoid biosynthesis is still unexplored.Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the differences in contents...
