Evidence of developmental escape from transcriptional-gene-silencing in MESSI retrotransposons
The intent of the experiment was to infer, from transcriptome analysis, the occurrence of competent LTR retrotransposons in shoot apical meristems of Solanum lycopersicum. For this, we performed Illumina pair-end RNA-seq in  M82 tomato samples of meristems, leaves and flowers. We also harvested meristems in plants subjected to long-term heat.  In addition, we performed RNA-seq in meristems, leaves and flowers samples from Solanum pennellii, to aid phylogenetic interpretations.
