title: RNA-Seq of Stem-ends of lily
design: The clustering of the index-coded samples was performed on a cBot Cluster Generation System using TruSeq PE Cluster Kit v3-cBot-HS (Illumia) according to the manufacturer s instructions. After cluster generation, the library preparations were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeqTM 2500 platform (Illumina Inc.).  The whole plant of lily was sourced from Guangzhou, PR of China. The uniform in commercial grade plants were selected. The basal 0.3-cm of stem-ends was sampled at six different time points: 0, 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after cutting.
