maize WT ear tip RNAseq biological replicate 2
RNA-Seq was carried out with plants growing under standard long-day greenhouse (16h day/ 8h night) and summer field conditions (Uplands Farm, Cold Spring Harbor, New York USA). Female inflorescence meristems (~0.5 mm) from a segregating population were dissected from growing ears (2-7 mm length), total RNA was extracted using Direct-zol RNA kit (Zymo Research) and sequenced by Illumina NextSeq 500 platform at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Genome Center (Woodbury, NY).
