Miniaturisation of duckweeds occurred through compression of the angiosperm body plan

ABSTRACT: We performed RNA-seq on microdissected regions of Lemna minor (clone 8623) and Spirodela polyrhiza (clone 9509) fronds, alongside the related aroids Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce) and Colocasia esculenta (taro), to define region-specific transcriptomes and compare organ-identity programmes across species. Transcript abundance was quantified with Salmon v1.10.0 and cross-species comparisons were performed on 6,230 one-to-one orthologues identified by OrthoFinder v3.0.1b1.
