Project description:These RNA-seq samples represent ten different tissue types for the fifth version of the maize reference genome B73, sequenced by the NAM Consortium Group. These samples correspond to project ID PRJEB32225.
Project description:These RNA-seq samples represent ten different tissue types for the genome B104 (PRJEB44462) and fifth version of the maize reference genome B73 (PRJEB32225).
Project description:These RNA-seq samples represent ten different tissue types for a version of the maize reference genome B73 with an abnormal chromosome 10 containing several knobs on the long arm involved in meiotic drive. This genome was sequenced by the NAM Consortium Group. These samples correspond to project ID PRJEB35367.
Project description:As a response to insect attack, maize (Zea mays) has inducible defenses that involve large changes in gene expression and metabolism. Piercing/sucking insects such as corn leaf aphids (Rhopalosiphum maidis) cause direct damage by acquiring phloem nutrients as well as indirect damage through the transmission of plant viruses. To elucidate the metabolic processes and gene expression changes involved in maize responses to aphid attack, leaves of inbred line B73 were infested with R. maidis for two to 96 hours.
