Table 1.

Germination percentage and RNA quality of seed lots used for RNA sequencing

Harvest year Germination (%) RNA yield (µg RNA mg−1 tissue) RIN mRNA yield (ng poly(A)-selected RNA mg−1 tissue)
2016 2017
2015 100 100 15.29 ± 2.49 7.86 ± 0.34 22.62 ± 5.67
1994 61 0 11.31 ± 1.04* 6.72 ± 0.08** 15.94 ± 7.68

Germination was measured in 2016 and 2017. RNA data show the mean ±SD (n=5) for RNA extracted from individual embryonic axes. *P<0.05, **P<0.0001 (Student’s t-test).
