Description
We used laser capture microdissection (LCM) to capture globular stage common bean embryo proper and suspensor, and profiled the transcriptome of these two embryo regions using next-generation sequencing. Our long-term goal is to understand the region-specific differentiation processes that occur during early embryo development and how genes are activated specifically in the suspensor and embryo proper. Overall design: Illumina sequencing of transcripts from laser-captured embryo proper and suspensor regions of common bean globular stage embryo. Two biological replicates were collected for each embryo region.
