RDS_MT_C
RNA was extracted from panicle tissue of both MTU1010 and MM11 for control and drought stress conditions using RNAIso Plus (Takara Bio Inc) reagent following the manufacturers instructions. RNA was treated with TURBO DNA-free TM kit (Life Technologies), according to the manufacturers protocol. RNA quality was determined by 1% RNA agarose gel and checked further using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Santa Clara, CA, USA). The samples that passed the quality check were used for library preparation. Sequencing libraries were prepared using an Illumina TruSeq RNA Library Preparation Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) as per the manufacturers protocol and run on an Illumina NovaSeq6000.
