title: RNA-seq of Malus domestica: fuit stored at A10 timepoint 5
design: Cortex tissue was harvested by first using a vegetable peeler to remove the peel of the apple around the apples equator (~2 cm wide) to expose cortex tissue. Then, using a knife, an ~ 0.5 cm wide disc was cut from the center of the apple. From this disc, three equal slices were taken around the core. Slices were coarsely diced and immediately flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C. Frozen tissue was ground using a SPEX Freezer/Mill 6875
