Pilot transcriptomic study-  Sybiopop: A systems biology approach to improve poplar biorefinery feedstock by deciphering the genetic architecture of lignocellulosic biomass production and quality
jc2013_sybiopop_2014-pilot transcriptomic study - Which genes affect biomass yield in poplar? RNA was extracted from young differentiating xylem and cambium collected on 24 4-year-old trees trialed in a common garden experiment at INRA Orléans. The trees corresponded to corresponding to 2 replicates of 12 genotypes from 6 natural populations. After RNA quantification, the RNA from xylem and cambium from the same tree were pooled and subjected to high-throughput sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 using 100 bp paired-ends reads indexing runs. All the samples were sequenced on one Illumina lane, yielding around 20 million of single-reads per sample. Overall design: 24 samples with 1 biological replicats. genotype and ecotype comparison
