Transcriptomic Response of Tidestromia oblongifolia to Death Valley Summer Conditions
RNA-seq data for two populations (Death Valley and Dos Palmas, CA) of Tidestromia oblongifolia were first grown in control conditions (16 hour / 31C day, 8 hour / 22C night) and transferred to conditions mimicking summer at Furnace Creek in Death Valley using custom-built growth chambers (45C daytime high temperature, peak light intensity over 2000 PPFD). Sampling of leaves for RNA-seq was conducted on days 0, 1, 5, 13, and 18, with day 1 representing one full day under Death Valley summer conditions, and so forth. RNA-seq data for two populations of Amaranthus hypochondriacus (India, Nebraska) are also included for days 0, 1, and 5.
