Project description:Soybean (Glycine max, cv Williams82) leaf petiole explants exposed to 25 ul/l ethylene for 0 to 72 h. Explants were prepared from 21 day-old greenhouse grown plants. Leaf abscission zones (LAZ) consisted of 2 mm of tissue collected below the leaf blade. The petioles (NAZ) consisted of approximately 3 to 4 mm of petiole tissue with the AZ removed. Explants and tissue were collected in February, March and April of 2013. Tissue and RNA were collected at USDA, Beltsville, MD (Mark L Tucker, Joonyup Kim and Ronghui Yang). Library construction and sequencing was completed at Univ of Cornell, Itheca, NY using a Illumina HiSeq 2000 (James J Giovannoni and Zhangjun Fei).
Project description:Cytosine methylation is a base modification that is often used by genomes to store information that is stably inherited through mitotic cell divisions. Most cytosine DNA methylation is stable throughout different cell types or by exposure to different environmental conditions in plant genomes. Here, we profile the epigenomes of ~100 Glycine max lines to explore the extent of natural epigenomic variation. We also use these data to determine the extent to which DNA methylation variants are linked to genetic variations.
