title: RNA-seq data of S3
design: We collected healthy leaves of C. camphora at three different stages in Taizhou University, Zhejiang Province. Three biological replicates for every stage were sampled. These samples were sent to the commercial sequencing institute (Annoroad Gene Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) for transcriptome sequencing. The total RNA was extracted based on the pbiozol methods. The purity, concentration, and integrity of RNA products were determined with a Nanodrop2000 microspectrophotometer and a Labchip GX touch microfluidic capillary system. Different RNA libraries were pooled according to the ef-fective concentration and the target downstream data volume, and then sequenced on the MGI platform where 150 bp paired-end reads were generated.
