Overview of RNA Seq based Transcriptomics and Potential Intervention in Brinjal

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is an important technique of molecular and plant biotechnology. It has potential to explore signal transduction pathway of the metabolic pathway involved in biotic and abiotic resistance in the crop by studying the expression patterns and regulatory mechanisms of plantgenes. Next-generation sequencing technologies and expanding horizon of this technology in the field of plant transcriptomics has resulted significant development and has become an important component of plant biology research. The transcriptomic analyses through RNA-seq have been applied in many crops. Similarly, genetic information and new functional genes and their regulatory networks can be explored in brinjal too to analyze defence mechanism and stress response pathways utilizing this technique, leading to identifications of different regulatory genes. This manuscript deals with the techniques of RNA Seq based trnascriptomics and potential intervention in brinjal to address the problem as mentioned.
