RNA-Seq of Monotropa uniflora: X-day flower (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).
