Bulk RNA sequencing data of rice root sections for Single-cell RNA-seq developmental stage annotation
We report raw bulk RNA sequencing data of rice root sections from Meristem, Elongation and Maturation zones Overall design: Sections (root tip to end of lateral root cap: Meristem; end of lateral root cap to the start of root hair elongation: Elongation; 1mm each beyond the start of root hair elongation: Maturation1 and Maturation2)were harvested. Samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen and RNA was isolated using the Zymo MagBead RNA Isolation kit. RNA was used as input into the Lexogen QuantSeq 3' FWD RNA-Seq library preparation procedure. Libraries were indexed and pooled on an Illumina NextSeq. Reads were aligned to Michigan State University Rice genome v7 counted with HTSeq-Count.
