title: RNA-Seq of C. fernambucensis S106
design: we extracted and merged the total RNA from the root and epidermal tissues. Both tissues were first washed using distilled water, followed by 90% ethanol, dried in a paper towel, and stored in an ultrafreezer (-80C). Approximately 50-90 mg of each tissue was merged and pulverized under dry ice using a mortar and pestle, and the total RNA was extracted with the RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN) using the RLC buffer. The samples were then sent to the BGI Americas facility, which checked the RNA quantity and quality using the Agilent 2200 Bioanalyzer, and prepared and sequenced the paired-end libraries (2x150bp) using the DNB-Seq platform.
