RNA-seq of LK399, leaf start bolting at 40 days, rep1
The developmental stages evaluated in this study included BBCH stage 12 (2 leaves), BBCH stage 14 (4 leaves), BBCH stage 16 (6 leaves), BBCH stage 20 (10 leaves), BBCH stage 41 (2 leaves are folding), BBCH stage 45 (half head size), BBCH stage 49 (full head size) and BBCH stage 51 (bolting, characterised by the onset of stem elongation). The time required to reach each developmental stage differed between genotypes.
