title: RNA-Seq of Tripidium ravennae: vegetative meristematic plant tissue from field grown samples of biological replicate A
design: Vegetative and inflorescence meristems as well as floral development tissues were collected from three plants on the week of August 9th, 2017, from the North Carolina Arboretum, Asheville, NC.  Inflorescence meristematic tissue from reproductive culms was collected at various heights from the ground, representing floral development progression.  Inflorescences had emerged from more developed culms, but inflorescence meristems at earlier development stages were apparent within the leaf sheath of immature culms.
