Project description:A transcriptome analysis of soybean seeds harvested at different developing stages (between stage 7.1 and stage 9) was carried out to understand the molecular events occuring during the acquisition of seed longevity during maturation.
Project description:We report the genome-wide transcriptome of soybean seeds across several stages of seed development and the entire life cycle using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. Specifically, we profiled whole seeds containing globular-stage, heart-stage, cotyledon-stage, and early maturation-stage embryos. We also profiled dry soybean seeds, and vegetative and reproductive tissues including leaves, roots, stems, seedlings, and floral buds. Illumina sequencing of transcripts from whole seeds at five stages of seed development (globular, heart, cotyledon, early-maturation, dry), and vegetative (leaves, roots, stems, seedlings) and reproductive (floral buds) tissues.
