RNA-seq Analysis Reveals Gene Expression Profiling of Female Fertile and Sterile Ovules of PinusTabulaeformis Carr. during Free Nuclear Mitosis of the Female Gametophyte.

ABSTRACT: The development of the female gametophyte (FG) is one of the key processes of life cycle alteration between the haploid gametophyte and the diploid sporophytes in plants and it is required for successful seed development after fertilization. It is well demonstrated that free nuclear mitosis (FNM) of FG is crucial for the development of the ovule. However, studies of the molecular mechanism of ovule and FG development focused mainly on angiosperms, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and further investigation of gymnosperms remains to be completed. Here, Illumina sequencing of six transcriptomic libraries obtained from developing and abortive ovules at different stages during free nuclear mitosis of magagametophyte (FNMM) was used to acquire transcriptome data and gene expression profiles o
