RNA-Seq of Monotropa uniflora: X-day lower stem (Eco)
M. uniflora plant material was collected August, 2016, from Ledges State Park, Boone County, Iowa. Aerial portion of M. uniflora were collected while the plants were at a height of 12  2 cm. The collected plant material was dissected into three sections: flowers, upper stems, and lower stems. Samples of these three sections were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, before long term storage at -80 C, used for transcriptomics analyses. Tissue samples from three individual plants were pooled and homogenized to make a biological replicate, and a total of three biological replicates were generated for each plant section (i.e., flowers, upper stems, and lower stems).
