RNA-Seq of Phalaenopsis aphrodite: leaf
Phalaenopsis aphrodite is an important breeding parent of large white hybrids. The total RNA was extracted from the roots, leaves, fully open flowers, mature flower buds, and young flower buds of the mature orchid plants. The strand-specific RNA sequencing libraries were constructed using Illumina Truseq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation Kit and were individually barcoded. All procedures followed protocols provided by the manufacturers.
