RNA-seq analysis of ear under the four different water regimes
The axillary meristems of the developing ears were sampled. The ears with similar sizes of (2-5, 10, 15, 20, 50 mm in length) obtained under different levels of water regimes. Each sample was pooled from at least three individual plants, and two replicates were performed for RNA preparation and sequenced on the Illumina HiSequation 4000 system.
