Sample description and numbers of RNA-Seq reads for samples

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 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

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.
