Mining the bitter melon (<it>momordica charantia </it>l.) seed transcriptome by 454 analysis of non-normalized and normalized cDNA populations for conjugated fatty acid metabolism-related genes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Seeds of <it>Momordica charantia </it>(bitter melon) produce high levels of eleostearic acid, an unusual conjugated fatty acid with industrial value. Deep sequencing of non-normalized and normalized cDNAs from developing...
