Total RNA was extracted from flash-frozen leaf tissues using the GeneJET Plant RNA Purification Kit (Cat. K0802; Thermo Fisher Scientific). RNA integrity was verified before library preparation. RNA libraries were constructed using the NEXTflex Ultra RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (E7530S; NEB, UK) following the manufacturer's protocol, and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform in 161-bp paired-end mode.
