RNA-Seq of roots in Medicago sativa: under sufficient and low phosphorus treatments
Transcriptome profiling of Medicago sativa roots in response to sufficient and low phosphorus treatments. Stem nodal cuttings of alfalfa were rooted in vermiculite, pre-cultured in 500 umol/L Pi full nutrient solution for 3 weeks, then treated with either 500 umol/L Pi (+P) or 0 umol/L Pi (-P) for another 3 weeks. Root tissues were collected with three biological replicates per treatment for RNA-Seq analysis. This dataset was generated to identify differentially expressed genes and signaling pathways involved in alfalfa adaptation to phosphorus deficiency.
