Name LIBEST_025693 AAGST
Organism Artemisia annua
Tissue glandular trichome
Stage 19-21 days after induction of flowering
Description Organ: flower bud; Vector: pDNR-LIB; Plants (seed source: Elixir Farm Botanicals, Brixey,MO, USA) were grown with 16 h/25 C days and 8 h/20 C nights to a height of approximately 1.2 m (about 3 months) then transferred to 12 h/25 C days and 12 h/20 C nights. Glandular trichomes were isolated by abrasion using a Bead Beater (Biospec) and filtration through nylon mesh. cDNA synthesis and library construction were carried out with a Creator SMART cDNA Library Construction Kit (Clontech) using Long-Distance PCR.
