Barley guard cell and subsidiary cell specific transcripts
We prepared RNA from total leaves and epidermal peels, containing living guard cells (GC) and subsidiary cells (SC) only. In the third sample we blended epidermal peels to mechanically destroy the SC, leading to a pure guard cells fraction. By RNAseq and substraction of GC from SC transcripts, we were able to reliably assign transcripts to the barley SCs and GCs.
