Developmental stage | Sampled tissues | Genotype* | Number of reads** | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rep 1 | Rep 2 | Rep 3 | ||||
S1 3–5 DAF *** |
Seed set: Acellular endosperm in seed, undergoing active cell division in embryo and maternal seed coat and seed pod. | Seed pod with whole seed | V1 | 77.1 M | 64.6 M | 63.1 M |
V2 | ||||||
S2 10–14 DAF |
Seed growth: Endosperm is degenerated and its cellular contents are assimilated by the cotyledons. | Whole seed | V1 | 66.4 M | 64.6 M | 76.2 M |
V2 | 63.3 M | 68.2 M | 65.2 M | |||
S3-1 20–22 DAF |
Seed filling: Seed coat and cotyledon are separated from whole seed with 90–100mg fresh weight (around one-third of final weight); accumulation of nutrients, oil, storage proteins in cotyledon. | Seed coat | V1 | 73.1 M | 71.3 M | 77.1 M |
V2 | 74.3 M | 65.7 M | 85.6 M | |||
S3-2 20–22 DAF |
Seed cotyledon | V1 | 70.5 M | 69.4 M | 74.2 M | |
V2 | 60.3 M | 61.9 M | 71.4 M |
* Genotype V1 and V2 are the large and small seed cultivar, respectively; ** number of processed clean reads obtained from three biological replicates of RNA high-throughput sequencing [expressed in millions (M)]. DAF, days after fertilization.
