3+2 generation transcriptome sequencing of Elymus sibiricus seed
Elymus sibiricus L. is an important forage grass and its seeds are rich in starch and sucrose. Sucrose is the main source of substrate and energy required for starch synthesis in the seeds, so the hydrolysis of sucrose determines and influences starch synthesis and filling in the seeds. However, the process behind carbohydrate metabolism during the seed development remains unclear. Therefore, full-length transcriptome sequencing of Elymus sibiricus seeds at five different developmental stages (S5, S9, S15, S20, S25) were carried out to get the molecular insights.
