Pteridium aquilinum whole plant normalized transcriptome from sporophyte tissues
Total RNA was extracted from six sporophytic tissues of Pteridium aquilinum (young sporeling frond, rhizome tip, fiddlehead, mature sterile pinnae, and pinnae with developing and mature sporangia). Equal amounts of DNase treated and poly-A selected RNA from each tissue were pooled for Illumina TruSeq library preparation. The library was normalized using the EVROGEN Trimmer double stranded nuclease kit following the manufacturer's recommended protocol.
