Gene profiles of Chinese Spring and CDC commander during embryogenesis
We present an atlas of global gene expression covering embryo, endosperm and seed coat development in Chinese Spring and CDC commander, providing insights into the evolution of gene expression in embryogenesis and grain development of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat species. Overall design: We investigate the dynamics and evolution of gene expression throughout seven stages of embryo development (including the two cell, pre-embryo, transition, leaf early, leaf middle, leaf late and mature embryo), two stages of endosperm (transition stage endosperm and leaf late stage endosperm), and one pericarp stage (leaf early stage pericarp) across Chinese Spring and CDC commander, two replicates for each stage.
