title: Plant sample from Pericallis cruenta
organism: Pericallis cruenta
description: Blue and white color of cineraria cultivars Venezia were chosen as plant materials, named as VeB and VeW repectively. As the ray florets developed, five different stages were determined according to Jin et al. 2016. In this study, the mixed samples of disc florets, ray florets, leaves and stems of the VeB were used for the third-generation transcriptome sequencing. In addition, the ray florets at the S1, S2, S4, S5 stages of VeB and VeW were used for second-generation transcriptome sequencing, and three biological replicates were taken at each developmental stage.
