Data set to be added in Release #21 spring 2014, based on Li et al (2010)

Background:

The study authors analyzed the maize leaf transcriptome using Illumina sequencing. They mapped more than 120 million reads to define gene structure and alternative splicing events and to quantify transcript abundance along a leaf developmental gradient and in mature bundle sheath and mesophyll cells.

  • The samples were mapped to PO ids representing the plant structures and plant growth stages used.
  • Data is from:
    • Supplementary Table 2: qRT-PCR analysis of a subset of genes in the 4 stages.
    • Supplementary Table 4: List of genes exhibiting differential expression between bundle sheath and mesophyll cells.
